Dear Friends, Finally, Windows! (Insert cork-popping sound here) Thanks for all your congratulation notes about our new Windows 95/98 quilt design software Electric Quilt 4. We're delighted by the response to the program, and welcome all of you who are new users. We hope you enjoy this issue of our newsletter, published about twice a year. EQ4 Simplified - Ready Now We plan on publishing a series of books to help you get the most out of EQ4. Our first book, EQ4 Simplified, is ready now. Author Fran Iverson Gonzalez has written this "beginner's guide" from a quilter's viewpoint. You learn visually, designing specific quilt styles on the computer, as she gently introduces you to more advanced EQ4 features. See some of her clever quilt designs in this newsletter. See them all, along with actual sample book pages, on her Web site. EQ4 Block Book - Ready Now The EQ4 Block Book, a picture book showing each of the 2200 blocks in the EQ4 Block Library, will be ready May 15. This lookup guide makes it easy for you to locate the block you want to use without having to scroll through the library files. Barb Vlack - Will Be Back! Get ready. EQ4 expert Barb Vlack, popular author of Too Much Fun! for EQ3, will have a new EQ4 book set for winter release. Barb's book will contain design recipes, so she's laughingly suggested "Barb-EQ Recipes" as a working title. She's cooking up detailed EQ4 instructions for designing pieced sashes, wreaths, appliqué blocks and over 50 other tidbits. She'll also have special instructions for all you quilting teachers who need class printouts. EQ4 Designer Fabric "Stash" on CD Your appetite for fabric is endless! You're already asking for more designer fabrics. So watch our Web site for an announcement of fabric CDs - all new designer fabrics to use in EQ4. These new scanned swatches of real fabric will be additions to the 700+ real fabrics already in EQ4. BlockBase for Windows 95/98 We plan to republish our BlockBase software in a Windows 95/98 version around year-end. The DOS version of BlockBase, which has 3500 traditional pieced blocks, based on Barbara Brackman's wonderful block identification book, Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns, is sold out. Registered users will receive information about the new program. What Else is New? We have new programs in the planning stages, and a new Web site in the works, to allow on-line shopping. All this is possible because of the help we're getting from some great new staff members: Bill Clifford (scan man and Web wizard) and Sharon Chase (helpful customer service and order taker). ClubEQ Thanks to Barb Vlack & Pat Tribbey, all EQ users now have a club and gallery exhibition space. See the article on Club EQ (page 3) and visit to see some amazing quilts by fellow EQ users. Keep in touch. And thanks for your help and wonderful support! Sincerely, Dean, Penny, Ann, Lu, Margaret, Amy, Jan, Diane, Bill, Sharon and EQ the Mouse CONTENTS: Announcements - EQ4 Simplified - Mailbox - Fabric Scanning Tips - ClubEQ - Ask EQ - Show & Tell - Recognizing EQ Designers - Other Uses for EQ4 - Web Sightings.
