And –like me– do you absolutely love coffee? First thing in the morning, with desert at noon, and even late at night?
Then scoot on over to our website for an EQ7 BOM treat! There is a bit of a challenge involved (I know you can do it!)… but I know you’ll also have a lot of fun!
Coffee Lover BOM
I am a self-learner. I taught myself to sew and to quilt. And I taught myself how to draw. I am learning how to dye my own fabrics and am dabbling with mixed media. I am a quilt designer and teacher, and design and publish my own line of quilt patterns. With this blog I would like to share the bits and pieces of my life.

Hé Angie, thats great, I’m a coffee Lover…haha
Thanks! I do like my morning coffee-in fact I just poured another cup before I sat down to the new BOM. I’ve not tried taking blocks from other projects- I knew you could, just hadn’t tried it. That was fun to learn. Maybe this needs to be the impetus to redecorate my kitchen!!
Who, me! An EQ junkie?
Not me!

(Well, not much!)
Not much? Says the EQ junkie queen! Just check out her blog!
Very cute wallhanging….so sad…too bad I’m still running EQ6.
I am not an EQ Junkie but an EQ wannabe….I just got it and have very little idea what to do with it so I will take you up on the challenge…I know there will be no help….but….when I open up your block 1 it immediately went to its correct spot on the layout….with absolutely no help from me….Is the point of the challenge being able to get the design from the computer to my sewing machine? or is there more that I don’t know that I don’t know????? Thanks for any gentle pushes in my direction….ellen
Ellen, you need to download the quilt layout file, too. This is the main file you will be working with. You then have to “import” (this is the lesson to be learned… look it up!) each month’s block(s) and fabrics, and set them onto this quilt. You are correct in that right now you can see the January block (3 mugs) has been placed. But the February block will not have this block; only the next one. That is why you have to learn to import blocks, so you can have them all on the same quilt. If this challenge is too advanced for you as a beginner, consider saving all the files as they are posted, and concentrate on learning the program. You can then come back to this project when you feel more confident about meeting the challenge.
Thank you Angie…I understand now, I was thinking it was too easy…I knew I was missing the “challenge” – I guess I would have figured out the challenging part in February so thank you….I have a month to learn import!!!!
Angie – I also missed the challenge, but now have the block in the quilt.
Having trouble with the nudging the numbers to correspond to yours. It’s been a while since I have completed an EQ challenge.
