I sent you a PM that I couldn't get my block that had color to appear in the 'set' window. Nevermind. After I closed the program and reopened it, I got the colored one. I have no idea why, but will play with it. Thanks so much for the class. Looking forward to the next one.

Thanks Rhonda. It really helps to have the colored pictures on it to follow along.

when you save to the sketchbook it will save it colorless. all you need to do is look for the arrows underneath that window. Click on the right arrow and it will show you the next block. It will be the colored one you saved. It saves several something like 5 in the same place. You just use the arrow to see all of them in that stack.

When you get your EQ7 you will be ahead of the game and able to dive in and feel comfortable using it. You can print off these classes and then you will have them to follow.

Thanks Rhonda, I'll keep practicing until I get this part down really really good. And not try to do more until the next lesson.

Great tut! Things like getting the color to come across on the block is exactly the kind of problem I have, so I have already learned something. I can hardly wait for next week. Thank you for your time and your knowhow.

Yes we will cover as much of it as I know how to do and I will be going through the manuals and seeing what more I can learn to pass along. Anything I don't know we will just have to experiment til we understand it!!

Right now I know I will be covering the rest of the functions on the tools and how to scan fabric / how to look for blocks and add to them. How to add fabric from the manufacturers. Basically how to use the sketchbook and libraries.
I will show how to design using my shortcuts and how to put them into quilts. We will explore alot of stuff that will help you make quilts.
