Is everyone as excited about EQ7 as I am? Cause I gotta tell ya, I'm really excited! Want to know something even more exciting? I get to give one away! First, just let me tell you that I love EQ6 - it has been a part of my business since day one - I design everything for Cherry House Quilts on there first. As much as I love EQ6, I know that EQ7 is going to be even better!!!
- Need to figure out yardage
- Need to work out color
- Need to make a quilt bigger or smaller
- Drawing blocks
- all of this and more is so easily done with EQ
Here's one of my favorite quilts, City Park (and currently our bestseller) created with EQ6
How to win??? Leave a comment...that's it...piece of cake right? Anyone anywhere - a contest without borders! Leave a comment, make sure you include an email address so you can be contacted. Share this with your friends - tell everyone, tweet about it, share it on Facebook, because someone is going to win a free EQ7. The contest will end on May 18, 2010, and your prize will be shipped by The Electric Quilt company.
Okay sweet friends - best of luck to everyone!!!

What an amazing giveaway! Thanks so much, Cherry. I cannot wait for your book - it looks awesome! tkmg[at]hotmail.com

What a wonderful give-away Cherri! It’s a shame that The Electric Quilt Company only makes EQ for Windows, so I can’t work with it.
It would be wonderful if the EQC would celebrate their EQ7 release with a compatible version for Apple Macintosh. After all, that’s the computer most (graphic) designers work with...
I finished my City Park quilt-top. Pictures soon!!!
Posted by: nicolette | May 04, 2010 at 09:28 AM
Oh, I can't tell you how much I would LOVE to win this! I remember sitting in my first hand quilting class years ago asking the instructor if there was a program that you could design blocks with and the yardage would just pop out for you... I think that was EQ4 (a few years ago!) Thanks for the chance!
Posted by: badlands quilts | May 04, 2010 at 09:36 AM
Wonderful, wonderful - I would love to get my hands on EQ7!!! I know you are excited to get yours.
Posted by: Erin | May 04, 2010 at 09:41 AM
I would love to have EQ!! I'm a new quilter and most of the time don't have a clue what I'm doing. Hahaha.
Posted by: Cristina | May 04, 2010 at 09:45 AM
I love the City Park Quilt. It's really incredible.
Posted by: needlenose | May 04, 2010 at 09:47 AM

Posted by: Barbara | May 04, 2010 at 09:49 AM
EQ7 looks amazing, I would love to get it in my hands!
Posted by: Tracey P | May 04, 2010 at 09:54 AM
This would be fantastic! A huge step up from trying to approximate a quilt with graph paper or powerpoint!
Posted by: so we added chickens | May 04, 2010 at 09:59 AM
Fantastic program ... I never upgraded from EQ5. The changes that EQ7 has sound terrific!
Posted by: Lemon Tree Tami | May 04, 2010 at 10:00 AM
Love your quilts! I would love to be able to design my own too. Thanks for a chance.

Posted by: Safieh | May 04, 2010 at 10:13 AM
I would love to win EQ. I see a great quilt and try to remember the basic design and go from there. This would be so much more sensible and efficient. Thanks for the option.
Posted by: Jackie Engquist | May 04, 2010 at 10:14 AM
I'd love to try EQ! Winning a copy of EQ would be a great birthday present!
Posted by: Holly | May 04, 2010 at 10:16 AM
I sooo want EQ7! I will have to get a new computer if I win this, but it's time anyway! Thank you Cherry House and Electric Quilt Company for the giveaway!
Posted by: Paula Bohan | May 04, 2010 at 10:16 AM
Wow, you are the luckiest person I know! I can't believe someone I know actually won a copy of this! I hope I win! I really love to design quilts and hardly ever use patterns. I usually just piece things together until they look good though.
Posted by: Amy R. | May 04, 2010 at 10:19 AM
what a great prize! I hope I win!
Posted by: Rossie | May 04, 2010 at 10:21 AM
