Snowflake Sampler Quilt

1/13/2018

 
After 2 weeks of sub-zero weather (between North Dakota and MN), it warmed up for 3 days this week.  But winter is back with a vengeance with snow and bitter winds.  After shoveling snow this afternoon, I came in and looked at the temps.  Minus 12 windchill. Brr!  

Mug Rug Update

I thoroughly enjoyed the hot chocolate and tea mug rug drawings that were shared with me.  They warmed my heart!  If you would like to join you the Learning EQ Facebook group, you can request membership here.

Here are some of the completed renditions shared on social media this week..

Snowflake Sampler Quilt

This week we are going to collect blocks from the EQ block library that can remind us of snowflakes.  We are also going to collect fabrics that remind us of snow as well.  Your collection can be completely different from mine -- but the goal is to have approximately 15 snowflake blocks.
If you would like to work along with me, color your snowflakes and save them to your Project Sketchbook.  Next week we are going to use a custom setting to showcase the sampler blocks.

​Here are my colored snowflakes -- all from the EQ8 Library with only a couple of modifications (as outlined in the video).

This is a great opportunity to unleash the power of Electric Quilt the Easy Peasy way.

What is the Easy Peasy way? Training delivered in bite sized increments (think 5-10 minute videos plus written step by step instructions).  You will receive 13 lessons a month -- delivered directly to your inbox.

It's not too late to join the fun.  And no need to worry about catching up.  After you enroll, you will receive three  lessons a week (delivered on Monday/Wednesday/Friday).

I love your short how to videos. I just received EQ7 and want to become familiar with it before I upgrade. Your tutorials have helped me to push my curiosity and explore the program further than I would’ve without your gentle tone and clear explanations
Thank you.

Loved this lesson. Created two quilts with this technique and wanted to send but could not see how to attach the file.
