EQ7: Seasons Row-A-Long & Giveaways


Welcome to my day of the
 
This is the final week to share
the rows that have been created.
 
I hope that you had a chance to check out
all the previous week's rows.  You can find the schedule here.
Thanks to Maria at Seams To Be Sew.  She has worked hard to get
amazing sponsors for this blog hop.
You can also see some blocks and color inspiration
on
  Facebook and Flickr.
 
Were you able to figure out what my row is?
I gave a few hints.
 
 
 
I choose Summer, because
it means time to enjoy my family with
absolutely no distractions.
Just the Water and a time or two in the Sand.
(It's hard to find much sand next to water in Colorado.)
 
This is my row.
SURF and SAND.


 
 A little Waves and Flip Floppin' Fun!
It is relatively easy pieced row
with a little applique.
 
 
I have had EQ7 for about three years.
I am no expert at it,
but all the quilts that I complete are
ones that I have drawn up in EQ7 first.
For this, it was no different.
I knew that I wanted water in my
block.  For me it represents fishing trips,
swimming pools and summer vacations.
I just love the water.
When looking through EQ, I notices that the
Monkey Wrench block resembled a wave.
 
 
I thought that I would build on a block
that was already in EQ.
First, I added that block in my sketchbook.
Then, I started working away.
I like to go to the coloring option on the block
to see what I need to do to change it around.
 
 
I know that the block is close,
but I need to change a few things.
 
 
After changing the color on a few areas and adding a line or two,
I ended up with this. 
 
 
This is close, but I knew that I wanted
to add Flip Flops and change the row
a bit.
 
 That is one the great features of EQ7.
You can edit parts of the block by using the arrow in the upper left corner
and making a box around that area.
 
 
In  this picture, I rotated the inner box.
You can manipulate and play with
the blocks that are already in the EQ7 Library.
 
I could play and manipulate
different blocks and colors for hours.
This is the final block that I created.
 
 
It is a mix between piecing and applique.
You can find my FREE Row pattern HERE.   
You will have to register on Craftsy in order to get the pattern.
 
 
 
Instead of using applique on the flip flop strap,
I used DecoFoil in Lime. 
It adds a bit of bling to the block.

A New Addition

 We have a new furry addition to
our family

 
a rambunctious pointer mix that
is keeping the kids, cats,
and myself busy.




He is a bit camera shy.
He was awake but was choosing to
play possum. 
 

 Silly puppy! 
He made it to our home
from a shelter. 
 
Of course, I had to make
him feel at home and
make him
a little something.
 
You can find what I created for
him over at  Therm-o-Web.
They are also giveaway some awesome
PRIZES!
 
 
And don't forget to check out the
EQ7 Row-A-Long.  There are so
many creative rows being shown
and some great giveaways. 
Here is the list of the days
and bloggers that are left to reveal.

Row-A-Long Progress

 
Have you been following along with the
 


 
Here are a few of the rows that I
choose to sew together.
 
 
  First, I made Marlene Oddie's at Kissed Quilts , dogwood row. 
I decided to add a few extra flowers and make it a
cherry tree.  I love being able to sew something that makes it more
ME!!
The flowers were easy to paper piece together and
I love the end result.
 
 
 
Next, a little Red, White, and Blue, from
 Doris Rice at The Quilting Queen Online
I am absolutely a sucker for a little
patriotic quilting.  
Again, I switched the watermelons
with a few patriotic pinwheels.
 
 
Last for this week, 
a little bit of Christmas from
Lynn Provencher at Thimblemouse & Spouse
 
 
This is my first Row-A-Long and I
love the fact that I used all
of my stash for the blocks
except for the beautiful white and sky blue
which was generously supplied by Northcott Fabrics
 
Go and check out these rows that will
be available for only a short time.
