Tech Know Quilter Showcase

1/8/2022

 
One thing I hear over and over again is -- I didn't know you could do "that" using Electric Quilt 8.  One thing that holds us back from truly using Electric Quilt 8 is just not understanding that this versatile software can help you create any type of quilt.  In this blog post, be inspired by the quilts created by Tech Know Quilter members using Electric Quilt 8.

Month End Challenge

Each month I challenge those in Tech Know Quilters to apply what they learned during the last month.  They can share a project from a lesson or an original design applying the concepts they have been learning in Tech Know Quilters. 

Tech Know Quilters is a membership program focused on mastery of Electric Quilt 8.  We have members at all stages of their Electric Quilt journey.

If you would like to join this amazing group of quilters, you can sign up for the wait list here.

Lynne Maramieri I really enjoyed the Lessons on Optical Illusions. This is my favourite!
Picture
Carol Kendra I have never really liked bargello quilts but doing the whole month of them, I've gained a lot of new insight as well as some wonderful quilt designs! I may just get one or 2 cut out and quilted. Onward to PolyDraw!
Picture
Julie Pedersen      I did the Masters Complex Pieced Animals class this month. I learned a lot and decided to submit this design that I plan on making over Christmas break for a lady at school. The photo is her son who died this year. It will be applique which uses the same tracing techniques as I learned in class. I played with colors and couldn't get the shading color right, but I will do better with the fabrics when I make it. His favorite color was blue hence the border and background colors.

Zdenka Nemethova In November I enjoyed the Intro to Applique Class. So many new things to me that I have to go back to some lessons and train again and again otherwise I feel I will forget everything
Picture
Zdenka Nemethova It was fun to gather together all the applique pieces in one quilt.

Zdenka Nemethova  In November I also worked on this quilt. I found in TKQ archive how to work with a panel in EQ 8, added 5 inch piano autoborder (in Christmas colors) with paper pieced little birds in the corners. Still not finished (last border Is missing) but we had snow today (for the first time this winter) and I couldn't resist to make this winter photo

Dorothee Ilgner In November I was in the Complex Animals Class. The last lesson focused on origami shapes. I used the concept to create a star from overlapping shapes. The star is based on the paper folded 'white window witch star' by Linda Raedisch. I added an auto border to this quilt.
Picture
Edith Craig My class for November was Optical Illusions. I drafted this quilt, modifying the one from class and changing the blocks. It was interesting to see the various quilts from this month and how simple changes in size, placement and color made such different appearances. Great fun!

Sabertooth Tigers

In November, Masters members honed their paper piecing drafting skills.  Dorothee Ilgner, a Tech Know Quilter member completed a sabertooth tiger foundation friendly block which was inspired from a photo. 

Members learned from her design as they enhanced their own skills.

Here is Dorothee's original Sabertooth Tiger quilt.

Tech Know Quilters Masters Challenge

Within Tech Know Quilters Masters, there is an opportunity for those who have completed twelve or more months of Tech Know Quilters to join this more advanced program where we focus on support for those applying their EQ8 skills to their own projects. 

​Each month members are encouraged to create an original design around a specific topic.  The Master's challenge in November was to create a quilt inspired by a favorite childhood book.  Four members rose to the challenge.

Curryanne Hostetler I really like cozy mysteries...so mine is more a genre.
Picture
Julie Pedersen My quilt is based on horse books...I liked Black Beauty and The Black Stallion series when I was young. This is foundation pieced. I used the techniques from this month's lesson to create it.
Picture
Dorothee Ilgner I was introduced to the public library in a very early age. I fondly remember spending time there and bringing home many books. This colorful quilt is designed to delight children, using letters from the EQ library and BB+.
Picture
Linda Carlson This is the Challenge to create a favorite storybook quilt. I'm sure everyone can guess which one!
