Sister’s Choice pattern

I’ve received several requests for a pattern for the Sister’s Choice quilt, so I added a PDF pattern to the free downloads at the right side of the page. This pattern is for a QUEEN size quilt, larger than the one I made for the show. Here it is in the larger size, in my [...]

Simple… and NOT

I have a couple of projects in the works. Actually, one is my mom’s project, but I designed it in EQ6 for her and then wrote out the pattern. It’s titled “Pauline” because Mom is making the quilt for an old friend named – you guessed it – Pauline. Mom’s actually making two quilts – [...]

I love me some EQ

So first, I’ve been without internet for three or four days because my modem died. I can’t believe how much a part of my life the internet has become! I bought a new one (Yikes!) and – woohoo! – I’m back.

EQ6 – How to import fabrics

I just wrote about Moda’s new feature, where you can download their fabric swatches to import into your quilting software. It occurred to me that EQ6 users might like step by step instructions on how to use this feature, so here it is:
Here’s a link to their new fabric lines. Under each line is a [...]

EQ6 rocks – and so does Moda!

I’ve been using EQ6 since it was EQ5. It’s been a couple of years since I first received it for Christmas, and I’m as hooked as ever. In fact, I tend to get caught up in designing and forget to get around to sewing. One thing that has always frustrated me is the difficulty finding [...]
