I was just curious how many of you received these for Christmas? Are you getting addicted yet? :D:D:D

I was trying to read my manual earlier, but started nodding off.
Wish I could blame it on all the holiday foods, but unfortunately this has been going on for a couple years now.
I will just have to read a few pages at a time, until I get the hang of it.
woo hoo! :-P

Still waiting to get mine :cry: But will be living thru all of you that has it :wink: LOL

Got mine, watched some of the videos today, started chapter 1 but then had to head to bed last night...not hooked yet, but won't be long! Already have downloaded and update from the EQ website and tons of new fabric swatches!

I was just going to try mine out for a little while after downloading it but 3 hours later I finally stopped only because it was time to start dinner! It is too much fun-I can see spending a lot of time playing with it. I've only done the easy stuff--we'll see how much I like it when it gets more in depth. Oh good-another addiction!!

not me :-( :-(

nor me....and sadly will never be. I'm on a linux system.

Waiting to get one....It it on the top of my list, need to quilt one or two quilts for the $$$. I have one waiting...and waiting...never tell me you are not in hurry for your top to be finished LOL
It belongs to a friend and student, of course for a true client it would have been done by now:)

Aren't those fabrics awesome!!! Wait til you sit down and get started with it :wink: :D:D:D

Awww but once EQ is paid for this addiction is FREE!!! No calories, hangovers, or ill effects....well, maybe a few late dinners LMBO

I thought there would be more members who received it than this LOL

Definitely another addiction developing here! Maybe we need to start a support group thread!
;)

I am thinking about a EQ project swap :D:D:D

Would be really interesting....once I learn what the dickens I am doing! lol

Too be honest...I didn't get further in the manual than chapter 5... I REALLY need to sit down and finish the lessons LMBO That was far enough to do what I intially wanted... now I am HUNGRY for more :D:D:D

Ahhhh yes! Sweet addiction!!!!!!!!

I thought it would be fun, and a swap that doesn't cost anything either :D:D:D

I use linux too, but my laptop is dual boot. I can boot up windows when I need to access software that doesn't play with linux. :)

Sounds interesting.....especially since I am new at this. You guys are going to have to hold me by the hand and talk me through this.

amma...the owner of my LQS does EQ swaps all the time. She likes them better than the "real" thing. Actually, she does an EQ RR...but then she comes out from the back of the store and
"pets" my IRR projects.

I bet there are several more on the board who got the DJ software for Christmas...lots of us ordered it this year. :D

I got it but haven't had time to install yet. Maybe today!!!!
I also signed up for a class that starts in February on how to use it.

I got mine in for Christmas and am trying to figure it out. I want to alternate 2 blocks to look like a picture I saw. I got the square within a square block so far, but would really like a nine patch within the middle square. Will read some more before I get too frustrated.

I've been playing!! See!! :-D

I had to create the block I wanted for the log cabin--that's my next quilt, well one I'll work on along with others. I love the applique' look, but don't know if I'm up to it. The baby quilt is just playing with two blocks. I picked many out of Marsha McCloskey's Block Party book and stuck them in the scrapbook so I could play with color ideas.

Pretty Karla. I love your log cabin quilt!!! That's a beautiful layout!! I haven't gotten very far with my EQ I watched a couple of the video's but haven't played yet. I'm hurting today, don't feel like doing much of anything.

I got EQ6 upgrade from 'santa'.............. have to take some time and learn lots more!!!

Woo Hoo Barnbum!!! Isn't it easier to play with the log cabin blocks with this? So much easier on the knees and back, that alone can easily pay for the program :D:D:D

Vicki, if you are still stuck, send me a PM and I will gladly help :D:D:D

YES! I spent hours on the floor deciding on the design for my last one. I had to photograph each idea, then turn 80+ blocks again. This is much easier! :-D

Whohoo! You have been busy! I have finished chapter 1 and started 2, have about 13 quilts saved, haven't figured out how to share them with you yet....course they aren't anything but practice, so maybe not sharing yet is a good thing. lol

I'm still playing with EQ 5
