Fran Gonzalez Writes New Book
EQ4 Simplified: A beginner's companion to
Electric Quilt 4 software


[Fran Iverson Gonzalez] [Prairie Posy Quilt] Learn EQ4 while creating six original quilt designs made just for you by designer Fran Iverson Gonzalez. No dull tech stuff here! Fran's easy lessons start with the basics in Part I. She gradually introduces more advanced work with layers, borders, quilting stitches, the Wreathmaker, appliqué drawing, Country Set, and using the graph pad, in Part II. All lesson steps, tools and screens, are illustrated in large pictures that won't require you to put on your glasses. There's a detailed Table of Contents as well as a full Index for quick lookup. Fran Iverson Gonzalez is an EQ whiz. She's written two earlier tutorials, EQ2 Simplified and EQ3 Simplified, and taught beginners' hands-on EQ classes at Oklahoma Quiltworks (Oklahoma City) for years. She uses EQ to create her own pattern line, including the wonderful "Sky Lights" EQ Mystery Quilt featured on EQ's Web site. Fran's love of quilts and fabrics, clear in her book, is rooted in her childhood. "At an early age I was exposed to vibrant colors, exotic fabrics, and unusual designs," she says. "For relaxation, my grandmother made very sophisticated and elaborate Mardi Gras costumes and entire wedding ensembles on her 1930's Singer sewing machine. One of my earliest memories is of collecting glittering rainbows of elegant, sequined fabric scraps from her sewing room floor to make doll clothes. Every gathering of the women in the family ultimately involved discussions of fabric and needlework." To order EQ4 Simplified, call 1-800-356-4219 or ask for it in your local store carrying EQ products.

"Since I am, first and foremost, a quilter, not a computer expert, I helped my students learn EQ software the way I learned it myself. Now, with this Beginner's Companion to EQ4 you, like my students, can feel confident enough to 'try this at home... alone!' "
