What is EQ5 Simplified?

Nice and easy! EQ5 Simplified takes you step by gentle step on a learning journey through Electric Quilt 5. Master teacher Fran Iverson Gonzalez has created the perfect beginner's companion to Electric Quilt 5.

Fran's visual learning approach is time-tested. She's taught thousands of Electric Quilt students to master the basics, and then go beyond that.

"I can't say enough good things about Fran Iverson Gonzalez's book. I'm the sort of person who hates reading most instruction manuals. This book, however, is more of a hands-on workbook. The lessons increase in difficulty as you create several stunning virtual quilts. It was like having the instructor in the room with me, and it was fun!"
- Merry Endres, Deerfield, Wisconsin

By the time you finish Lesson 10 you will have

• explored the block and fabric libraries
• created your own fabric palette and block collections
• imported fabrics
• drawn pieced, appliqué, overlaid blocks and quilting stencils
• used the Wreathmaker
• planned a variety of layouts and borders
• added sashes and prairie points
• learned construction shortcuts
• prepared a project for e-mailing
• created a quilt label
• designed a quilt backing
• and printed blocks, templates, foundations, yardage charts, appliqué, stencils and quilts.

By following Fran's instructions you will learn to approach quilt designing with total confidence, creativity and control.

Fran Iverson Gonzalez is a professional quilt designer and teacher who teaches Electric Quilt classes at QuiltUniversity.com. She is also the creator of the Mystery Quilts on the Electric Quilt Company website.
