:indy that is excellent you designed your quilt in EQ6, I just got my EQ out again, and I'm sure noticing that there isn't much documentation on embroidering. I've got to go look around and see if there is anything in EQ7 on the embroidery portions or if there are any other EQ stuff out there anywhere. I'm wanting to design an embroidery quilt called Jenny's Heritage -- it's an embroidery quilt but I want to make some changes in mine leaning away from some things that Jenny did. I just found the set block -- it was hiding for me. Are you familiar with any of the emb stuff. I used EQ making my Dear Jane I see your pic of that here too, I think the EQ DJ is much easier but I too love computer work and EQ -- I just need to get more familiar with you, I think I'll try to lean on you that way....big grin

My DJ top is in one piece but it isn't square one more think I'm putting off -- what year did you make your DJ?

Been busy taking care of my Father after heart surgery and it looks like being his caregiver will be a permanent job. I will have to find the time for "me" to do some sewing or I'll go crazy. I just love your artistic ability. Your quilts are beautiful!

I want to to welcome you to the Do You EQ? group. Have been admiring your quilts. They are awesome. Your work is fantastic. Have you used EQ to design them?

I love the detail in your quilting on your DJ. I hope I can do as well!
