EQ Mini: Easier Quilt Design Software

I just found out that there's an easier-to-learn version of EQ7 - called EQ Mini!  



http://electricquilt.com/online-shop/eq-mini/
I use EQ7 when designing & although it's a lot of fun, it's also hard work.  EQ Mini has fewer options & features which can be a good thing!  

I learned about it from watching one of Laura Coia's excellent YouTube videos (Sew Very Easy channel).  She shares lots of good projects & has such an easy manner that all things seem possible - I love that kind of teacher!  Anyway, be sure to watch the video to the very end - Laura's giving away a free copy of EQ Mini just by leaving a comment on her site - how cool is that?!  P.S.  There's a deadline, so listen & comment quickly!

There was no convincing Angel to pose with my "Cottonwood Leaves" samples, so we did it the easy way ... that's what photo collages are for!
