and what do we see, underneath the big Christmas tree........
I hope that you all had a very wonderful Christmas day. It seems like it was a mad rush to get there, but now that Christmas is over, new adventures are on the horizon.
Did you get any quilty love this Christmas?? My sweet daughter gave me some very wonderful charm packs. I was so surprised!
Aren't they great! woo-hoo, can't wait to use them :-) Maybe a Schnibbles in the works.
And the biggest surprise of all was this present from all of my children -
Needless to say, I was speechless. I've used a very old (and faithful) digital Sony for years, but just like some of us, it is getting slower and slower. Guess some of those aches and pains will eventually catch up with ole Sony.
AND -
woo-hoo! I will finally be moving up into the 21st century. Any help and feedback on how to use this would be greatly appreciated.
So now that you have read my little Christmas tale, you've hung on every word, right?? Okay, okay........ I finally closed the giveaway, and picked TWO winners! Yeah! I hear the cheering section.

Sounds like you hit the Christmas quilter's paradise! What wonderful gifts from those you love the most. Congrats to the winners. I love my EQ program. Just play and play with it, best way I know how to get to use it. It is so much fun.
Sounds like Santa was very good to you. What a delightful Christmas.
I love EQ6 and while still learning, have found that Electric Quilt has many great tutorials on their site, plus highly recommend Quilt University's EQ6 online classes (well worth the money).

With the Eq I agree with sew gal. Sign up for the lessons with Quilt University. I did all of the EQ classes and I learned so much.

Wow, what lovely presents you've got for Christmas!!! My camera is also a Cannon and I'm loving it. I don't have EQ6 though so, can't tell you how to use it. Congratulations ladies for winning the giveaways - Happy New Year - Hugs Nat
Congraatulations to the winners. I know they're going to enjoy the giveaway goodies. I don't have EQ, so I can't help you, but I've got my eyes on it for my birthday.
What a lovely Christmas you had!! I have been using EQ ever since it first came out and never make a quilt without first putting it into the program. Go through the book lessons, do a lot of playing then take the classes if you want to. If you have any questions, the EQ forum is a great place to go, they always respond VERY quickly.

What wonderful Christmas gifts, perfect!
Wow, you did get some fun things for Christmas!!!
ooooohh, what lovely Christmas presents! You'll have to keep me updated on the quilting program. I've seen it a lot around blogland lately and wonder what it's all about. I hesitate to get it though since I much prefer improv quilts over patterns. :)
Wow, from what I have read about EQ, it's going to keep you so busy playing that you might never get to the quilting! The charm packs look beautiful.
Oh my a very lovely gifty day for you indeed!!
So deserved if I may say so...;-)
Will look forward to some awesome pics an awesome quilty things from the EQ as well!!
You go gal...LOL!!
