awesome giveaway

I’m so excited to feature this give away!!

If you follow my blog, you know how much I love EQ7 and I design and make lots of quilts with Electric Quilt, some of my quilts are featured on their website, and also recently my blog entry about what to do with blocks from block swaps, was featured on EQ’s blog.

Plus, you can still use the discount code for their eqboutique I mentioned here.

Electric Quilt has offered this prize for a giveaway:

A Full version of EQ7!!!
isn’t that awesome??
it’s worth $189.95

here’s some details about it from their website

Quilts can be as simple- or as complex-looking as you like. EQ7 can help whether you want to make a horizontal quilt with plain squares, or an intricate custom quilt with blocks of all different sizes. Choose from any of our 10 automatic layouts, over 540 pre-designed layouts by size & by style, popular quick-quilts, or draw your own layout. The possibilities are endless.

Draw beautiful, original blocks and stencils, or let EQ7 create new blocks for you.

Over 5000 scanned fabrics. Find them by theme (modern to antique), by color (you can even search by color), or by fabric company. Scan your own fabrics, then crop and “tweak” them right in EQ7.

EQ7 includes over 5,000 copyright-free blocks. Use and re-use blocks as patterns or quilting stencils. Choose any size. Or use EQ7’s new Serendipity tools to magically turn any block into a new original block.

Electric Quilt 7 does it all. Quilts, Blocks and now PHOTOS! Includes all the design features of EQ5 & EQ6 plus all new design tools for beginning and advanced users.
