Sponsored Giveaway by Angie's Bits & Pieces

I am honored to announce that Angie Padilla is sponsoring a giveaway to celebrate a new shopping site for her lovely patterns.  For those that may not be familiar with Angie, I want to share a few insights with you before I talk about her new site, or this giveaway.

Angie Padilla is a very talented quilt designer and author, born in the USA and now living in  Quito, Ecuador.  Her talents include excellent drawing skills, and she has shared all of her talents with quilters around the world, through her book "EQ6 Applique Drawing".  This is an excellent companion book for any EQ6 or EQ7 user that would like to build their skills on creating Applique' designs.  I truly love this book.  And, I also want to share that The Electric Quilt Company currently has this book on sale for 50% off, while supply lasts. 

Angie also used her talents and worked with The Electric Quilt Company to create the "My Dream House Software", which is a delightful add-on software package that is compatible with EQ5, EQ6 and EQ7.  I have seen several award winning quilts, all unique, created by using this software.

Here is a picture of Angie's quilt that inspired the "My Dream House" project. You can view Angie's quilt entered in the Blogger's Quilt Festival for more details on this amazing quilt.  It is a great example of what you can create with this software.

I am a new user of My Dream House, but love it.  It is very easy to use and one which I'm looking forward to using to create applique' quilt designs, wallhangings, pillows, tote bags, greeting cards and, of course, images for blogging. Yeap, maybe some help wanted signs?

Yes, this software is packed with a variety of imaginative furnishings for your home and ways to have fun and create entertaining designs. 

The CD contains:

• 15 dolls
• 32 quilts
• 127 blocks
• 282 motifs
• EQ5 and EQ6 projects
• My Dream House Block Library
• BONUS Children's Doll House project on PDF.

There are even seasonal decorations.  You'll even find blank houses that you can decorate quickly.  Possibilities of what you can create with My Dream House and your Electric Quilt software is amazing.  To clarify, this is not a standalone software package - you need EQ5, EQ6 or EQ7 to have fun creating with My Dream House.

Angie's Bits & Pieces is an online pattern club that quilters can subscribe to on a yearly basis.  The annual membership fee is extremely reasonable and you have access to an amazing collection of spectacular designs.

Angie's Pattern Shop is her new site that allows quilters to purchase patterns without having to be a member of Angie's Bit's & Pieces Pattern Club.   While new, it is full of some delightful designs. I quickly fell in love with several cute designs.

To celebrate Angie's new Pattern Shop, Angie has offered three (3) copies of her "My Design House Software", for three different winners of this giveaway.  And, Angie is also willing to ship these to any winner in any place in the world.  But winners should have, or be planning to purchase EQ5, EQ6 or EQ7 to be able to use this software.
