Use any block pattern you want, pieced, appliqued or paper pieced. Cut a 2 1/2" by 2 1/2" square of white fabric and sign it with black pen and tack it to the back of your block for the label. We will number and post finished blocks on the website until the week of our retreat in January, 2014. You may enter as often as you wish. this is open to anyone.  You do not need to be present to win. Each entry will be given a number. We will use a random number generator to select the winners. For every 16 blocks there will be a winner! Send your blocks in early for posting on our Blog. Mail finished blocks to Quilt St. George llc, 5567 Parkway West Dr., Highland, UT 84003.

Electric Quilt 7 (or EQ6) Beginning taught by Annie Unrein at Quilt St George in January 2014

View Large Image

See how easy it is to design quilts using this powerful EQ7 (or EQ6) computer program.  Pick blocks from Electric Quilt’s extensive library.  Experiment with various settings, sashings, and borders, varying size, color, and fabric.  Add alternate blocks, applique motifs, or quilting stencils.  Learn to print yardage requirements, rotary cutting instructions, templates, foundation piecing patterns  -- in any size. Class Supply List Be sure to bring these items:    Laptop computer and mouse    Long extension cord with surge protection    EQ6 and/or EQ7 User Manual    Notebook and pen    $5 cash or check to Annie Unrein for class handout Students should bring their own laptop computer in good working order with the EQ6 or EQ7 software installed.* *If you do not already own the software, contact Annie for a great price on the software and related books. If you want to take the class before purchasing the software, Annie can install a classroom version of the program on your laptop which will enable you to "testdrive" the program. Be sure to make arrangements to meet Annie before class to install the software. If you borrow a laptop for the class, be sure to spend some time before class getting to know the computer. Don't wait until the day of the class to become familiar with it. Computer technical support for personal computers will not be available and no technical support will be provided during class.  It is strongly recommended that all computers have a standard mouse attached for the class, as the touch mouse will really slow you (and everyone else!) down — even if you are an experienced laptop user.
