What’s perfect about it for me is that I can design a quilt using Inklingo shapes and then play with colours.īaxter was very intent on getting to the yogourt on the spoon. It’s just another great tool to have available. I love that I can try out my ideas and see how they’re going to look before I start printing shapes on my fabrics. I guess you could say I am now well and truly hooked on Electric Quilt. As soon as we got home, I started playing with it in EQ. So as the machine made its infernal racket, rather than feeling like the walls were closing in, I was dreaming up this design.
Saturday night I had to have an MRI and, as I am claustrophobic, took a rather strong tranquilizer. Playing with designs in EQ has quickly become addictive. I was giggling the whole time I was working on this design thinking about that. Some of you may remember Tiny Tim singing Tiptoe Through the Tulips.
How could I possibly resist all that curved piecing of Winding Ways and Drunkard’s Path blocks? This coloration of it I’m calling Tiptoe Through the Tulips. Hopefully I’ll get this out of my system soon and be back to playing more with fabric! But this design is one that I will make. I played and played with EQ over the weekend.

While I was playing with designs for the contest, Mr. Given my love of curved piecing, my design had to include curves. Imagine how excited I was to find out I was one of the three runners-up! There are some beautiful designs shown on the announcement post, so I’m quite honoured. I already felt that I had won something as the contest had been the push I needed to finally learn my way around in EQ, at least to some extent. Yesterday afternoon, the winners of the Inklingo Love the Lines contest were announced in this post on the All About Inklingo blog.

I think his face says it all, “What, nothing for me?” I’ll have to keep my eye on him. Once again, a huge thank you to Inklingo, Northcott and Electric Quilt for these wonderful prizes and an enormous thank you to Linda Franz at Inklingo for holding the contest.īaxter was watching as we took photographs.

Before I cut and print anything, I’ll be able to download the fabric images from Northcott’s website, import them into EQ and then play to see how different the quilt will look depending on which fabric I use for each shape. I’ll be putting it to good use as I play with the design idea I have in mind for the Kaleidoscope fabrics. The prizes are fantastic, but the best part and the most enduring benefit is that it gave me that added push to learn EQ. I am so excited to have been one of the three runners-up.

The note that came with it refers to the wonderfully funny Oscar-Awaiting movie “How to make a Finger Pincushion” which can be seen here. It’s dainty and not heavy and just plain fun. What I’ve already started using is the button finger pincushion. There are hundreds upon hundreds of designs to select from on the seven CDs!
There are feathers and stars, animals and continuous line designs, abstracts and leaves, hearts and flowers, holiday designs and all-over designs and the list just goes on and on. I can play with these, either tracing or using Pounce or some other method – there are how-to instructions on the CDs. The best part for me is that I don’t have to try to draw my quilting ideas freehand. There’s something for everyone in these quilting designs. The Electric Quilt Quilting Designs CDs are something I’ve looked at over the past few years and had on my wish list. I’ve always been a fan of Northcott’s fabrics as they really are cottons that feel like silk and are wonderful to work with. As soon as I unwrapped the bundle, ideas immediately started to fly through my mind. The fabrics from Northcott’s Kaleidoscope collection are delicious. Over the past two days, the prizes from the Love the Lines contest have arrived.
