In celebration of the upcoming Summer Olympics in Paris, I have a special tutorial on creating your own foundation friendly Eiffel Tower block.
Scroll down for the free tutorial on creating the Eiffel Tower block. The Summer Games EQ8 Challenge starts this Tuesday (July 16). I look forward to having you join this group of over 500 EQ8 users, as you learn to create over 20 foundation friendly blocks. Make sure to sign up to join the fun. 
Just as we will watch athletes up their physical skills this summer, you will also have an opportunity to up your quilting game through honing your Electric Quilt 8 skills.
Introducing the Summer Games EQ8 Challenge
In the Summer Games EQ8 Challenge you will learn how to draft a series of sports themed blocks. Most of the blocks will be paper piecing friendly with some very simple applique. Imagine the confidence you will gain after a little bit of work in both the EasyDraw and Applique worktables. This challenge is designed for both beginners to Electric Quilt 8 and those that would like to expand their block drawing skills to a whole new level. Through regular emails with instructional videos, you will be encouraged you to spend a small amount of time using Electric Quilt 8 each day. This will allow you to become much more comfortable with the software. To celebrate our favorite summer athletes, the Summer Games Challenge is currently on sale for $21.99 (regular price of $109.99). This sale price is available for a limited time.

How It Works
Special Bonus: Live Finishing Session
You will be invited to a live event on August 24th where I will cover a layout for the blocks. I will also be introducing the Tech Know Quilter membership during the webinar and opening enrollment at that time. The session will be recorded and the recording will be made available to all challenge participants. The Summer Games Challenge along with the Live Finishing Session bonus is currently on sale for $21.99 (regular price of $109.99). 
Frequently Asked Questions
What level is this challenge targeted toward? Beginner to Electric Quilt 8. It will help if you have a basic level of understanding of EQ (i.e. have worked through the getting started videos or spent some time playing with the software). Are there any pre-requisites for the challenge? You should be familiar with your computer or have access to someone that can help with basic computer questions. It is important that you know how to save a picture from an email (and where it goes on your device when you save the picture). This process is not part of Electric Quilt and will be different depending on your computer, email system, operating system, browser and even settings on your computer. If you have problems with saving and accessing the picture during the Getting Started series, touch base with your favorite tech guru. They should be able to help. Does it matter if I am on a MAC versus PC? No Electric Quilt looks essentially the same for both PC and MAC users. Both should be able to successfully complete the project using the instructions in the videos. How will I access the videos? The e-mails will contain links to the videos plus any added instructions for completing that day's challenge. You can watch the videos at whatever time works best for you. Are the videos downloadable? No. However they can be watched whenever you wish and can be paused and rewatched as frequently as necessary. What if I didn't receive one of the e-mails? Most of the time these may be located in spam or junk folders. First check there. To minimize the potential issues. add [email protected] to your address book. If that doesn't work, please e-mail me so I can help research the problem. What if I started late? Once you enroll in the program, you will receive your first e-mail within 24 hours. We will get you caught up within a few days. What if I can’t attend the live session? The sessions will be recorded and as a participant in the Summer Games Challenge, you will receive a link to the recording. Eiffel Tower Foundation Friendly Block Using EQ8
