Elisa Welch Cossey-Brock Enjoyed this class. Foundation piecing is one thing I didn't know much about.

Kristy Goodin Soard I just finished the Masters From Vintage to Modern class, and used an embroidery made by my aunt as a young girl to honor her brother (my dad) as he served in WWII. I scanned the embroidery into EQ8 and designed this quilt. I used a block from the EQ library>01 Classic Pieced>Whole Top Designs>Square in a Diamond. The quilt is currently with the longarm quilter.

Edith Craig This month I took Introduction to Poly Draw. This was also a good month to apply what we learned in previous months as the skills begin to accumulate. The attached quilt was designed from blocks designed in Poly Draw with Serendipity. I also used a border variation to complete the look.
Picture
Karen Humphrey I took a quilt that is about 25 years old and tearing around the edges, that I kept because the blocks were meaningful to me even though the quilt was no longer functional in the current state. After taking the Masters vintage to modern classes I have designed a quilt using pieces of fabric and blocks from the quilt to give this old quilt new life. I've even started to cut the quilt in pieces.

Julie Pedersen This month I took the From Vintage to Modern class. I found a vintage star on ebay and used it for the center of my quilt. Here is my vintage modern quilt.

Lynne Maramieri I created this Compass Quilt after taking the Introduction to PolyDraw class in June.

Dotty Smalley Happy Birthday USA! I completed this "Star Sampler" (that I designed in EQ8 in the "Design Your Own 9 Patch" class) just in time for July 4th. I quilted each block using my embroidery machine then joined the blocks into rows by overlapping the backing. To join the rows with each other, I used sashing on the back and top stitched with clear thread.

Moira Hewitt I took hexagon blocks and settings. I joined a POTC BOM years ago and realised it was far too large for me- so now I am redrawing the blocks to create a smaller quilt. This is one of the setting blocks

Cheri Matyjaszek Amazing month of lessons. (This quilt was recently featured on the EQ Blog.

Dorothee Ilgner A great before and after rendition. I love how accurately she scaled her fabric in EQ.

Tech Know Quilters Masters Challenge

After 12 months in Tech Know Quilters, members have the options of switching to Masters.  In Masters there are fewer lessons each month, but more time (and opportunities to work on your own projects. 

In June their challenge was to design a new quilt from a collection of personal unused blocks (or a quilt that you never finished because you no longer "love it". 

Here are the posted blocks and quilts (along with their stories) from the challenge.

Kristy Goodin Soard --- My Stay at Home Pandemic quilt that was a sew along with Alex Andersen of The Quilt Show. We started them in the spring of 2020. I used all my "vintage" fabrics from the 80s and 90s thus the blues and pinks. I enjoyed memories from those years as I worked. Hidden meanings can be found throughout the quilt. The back is one huge log cabin block representing where we were spending all of our time during the pandemic. I used EQ8 for the design process as Alex encouraged us to create our own layout or use hers with alterations.

Debbi Treusch  --- Debbie used use a Care Bears baby quilt my great great grandmother made for my daughter in 1986. I don't remember how it got stained, but I assure you it isn't blood!!

This quilt and a similar one for son are the reason I started quilting. My kids had a quilt from my great-great grandmother, my great grandmother, my grandmother and my mother. I wanted to also have a quilt from me for each of them to have 5 generations of quilts. The intention was to just make an simple quilt for each of them. But I was quickly hooked on quilting and haven't stopped since.

​The quilt on the right was designed using pieces from the quilt on the left.  The quilt is very faded and damaged. I chose to use the alphabet blocks in the quilt as a background fabric and then went shopping for some new care bear fabric. All of his kids names were added in a crossword style with bolder colors and finished the quilt with a picture of my 3 favorite grands overlooking their names. Fun to do!!!

Kristy Goodin Soard -- I did use actual vintage blocks from my maternal grandma to make the birth quilt for my namesake several years ago. I had 11 Dresden circles never set into blocks. I used 9 to create the birth quilt, 8 on front and one for the label. I created it in EQ8.  For you math people, you are asking yourselves, "What did she do with the other 2 circles?" I made each granddaughter a semi-circle shaped pillow, as a keepsake from their great-great grandma and me.

Dorothee Ilgner started with some small blocks made from Civil War fabric.  They were intended for Jennifer Chiaverinis'"Loyal Union Sampler" which was never made.  The quilt on the right was her remade quilt.  For the applique she altered a block from the library to fit into the triangular space.

Irene Floyd I want to use the blocks I won several years ago at a Guild Block Party. There are 20 blocks and each is 12.5 inches square. Nine of them are identical. This is still a work in progress.
