Dear Friends,

This landmark year of 2000 will be our busiest one yet and perhaps our most fun. We're currently working on four major projects all talked about in this Floppy Gazette.

STASH Spring 2000 New and Now! If you've always said, "someday my Prints will come," wait no more. Your prints are here! Out April 1 the new edition of our popular fabric CD program STASH. STASH Spring 2000 contains 3300 ALL NEW fabrics from 22 top manufacturers. This is a VERY COMPLETE collection of the best new spring fabrics available fabrics so new many aren't yet in stores. You would be so jealous if you could see Sharon's and Jared's desks covered with chintzes, toiles, zebra stripes, brushed ginghams, buds, berries, bugs, bunnies, bees and every blossom ever grown, plus gorgeous hand-painted Skydyes sunsets. Yes, it's heavenly.

Diane and Barbara BlockBase new Windows version coming fall 2000 We're working on it now, and it's going to be one of our favorite programs. Diane is redrawing each block, and Margaret has spent weeks coloring. We had a great time with author Barbara Brackman, who spent several days with us in mid-December, discussing search and enhancement ideas. All of us are excited about BlockBase. If you have not sent in your BlockBase registration card be SURE to send it in to qualify for upgrade discount notification. All-new, true Windows 95/98 version of our popular BlockBase program

BlockBase has virtually all pieced quilt patterns published between 1836 and 1970! This includes all pieced blocks from these collections:
  • Kansas City Star
  • Carrie Hall
  • Ruby McKim
  • Lady's Art Company
  • Nancy Cabot
  • Nancy Page
  • Hundreds of other collections
Stitched with Love by Robyn Pandolph coming October 1, 2000 We give you a tiny sneak preview of a new media we're introducing this fall: the Magic Book. We love working with Robyn Pandolph for this first book and CD we've admired Robyn's designs, and her quiet charm, and now get to live in the special world of her beautiful appliqués and new Moda fabrics for awhile. We feel quite Martha Stewartish getting photoshoot projects and ideas together (ribbon-tied organdy nursery curtains fused with Robyn's stars .....delicious!). Jill is hard at work designing Stitched with Love: A Mother's Fabric Legacy. More news about it this fall.

EQ Computer Lab at 2000 International Quilt Festival this fall You asked for it and you will determine whether it is a one-time happening or annual event. For the first time ever, Electric Quilt Company will sponsor and staff a complete computer lab in Houston, Texas from October 31 November 5. Ten classes taught by the best EQ teachers we know: Sharon Dinsmore (also lab coordinator), Fran Gonzalez, Barb Vlack, and Liz Warner. Now is your chance to take the classes you've been asking for. See you in Houston this fall.

We've never been able to do so much in one year. We can do it now only because we have such great and enthusiastic support from you. To say thanks, we have two free gifts you can download from our Web site: 1) free EQ4.1 upgrade; 2) free EQ Show viewer. See more free stuff on page 3.

We hope to see lots of you, and thank you in person when we're "on the road" at shows in Lancaster, Paducah, Nashville, and Houston this year.

Happy Spring!

Dean, Penny, Ann, Lu, Margaret, Jan, Diane, Sharon, Nick, Gail, Jill, Jared and EQ the Mouse
