Posted in accuquilt, EQ8, Patterns for Sale by

This is for all of you EQ8 Quilt Design fans who also use AccuQuilt® die cutters!  There are now two Collector’s Edition EQ8 Block Libraries for the AccuQuilt Block on Board (BOB) dies.  These libraries contain BOB Blocks that you can easily design within EQ8 and then cut out with your AccuQuilt GO! Qube dies and cutters.

When you combine Electric Quilt® software with your AccuQuilt® GO! fabric cutter and GO! BOB dies, you have the perfect mixture of creativity and precision!

Each of these Collector’s Edition BOB block libraries contain over 40 AccuQuilt GO! Block on Board quilt blocks that match GO! BOB dies released between 2012 and 2024.

Introducing BOB Collector’s Edition 1

Introducing BOB Collector’s Edition 2

Key Features and Benefits

AccuQuilt compatibility

The libraries are designed to integrate seamlessly with AccuQuilt’s Bob dies, enabling users to translate their digital EQ8 designs into physical quilts with ease. 

Pre-drawn Blocks

These blocks are already drawn for you in sizes that match AccuQuilt’s most popular BOB dies. You can set the blocks right into EQ quilt layouts, mix and match blocks, and play with colors or fabric until you have designed your perfect quilt.

Easy Installation

The Block Collections install right into your EQ8 block Library so they are ready to use right away.  Helpful PDF Resources install directly to your My EQ8 > Documentation folder on your computer for easy access.

Color Coded Organization

AccuQuilt GO! BOB blocks are organized in the EQ Block Library, color-coded by finished size so you can easily design quilts with dies you own.

What better way to show off what you can do with the BOB Add-on Block Libraries than to show you quilts I have made using the BOB blocks designed in EQ8.

Pineapple BOB Die – Collector’s Edition 1

I loved being able to choose my own colors and fabrics until I get just the look I want.

Butterfly Pieced Butterfly Block – Collector’s Edition 2

I even mixed some of the BOB blocks with Qube blocks and even blocks I designed myself in EQ8

Storm at Sea, Collector’s Edition 1

This quilt design software is so versatile, I can truly make my designs my own.

You can find the EQ8 BOB Collector’s Edition 1 and 2 available for purchase at ElectricQuilt.com and AccuQuilt.com!

New Product! AccuQuilt Qube Quick Reference Guides

Posted in accuquilt, Patterns for Sale by

They are here! The brand new AccuQuilt Qube Quick Reference Guides by Lori Miller Designs.

If you don’t know by now, I love using my AccuQuilt GO! Cutters with my GO! Qube sets. I just think they are so versatile to create all kinds of traditional style blocks in many different sizes.

I was printing out the huge GO! Fabric Reference Chart provided by AccuQuilt which is a wealth of great information. However, I wanted something a bit easier to read since I used it so often. And since I have been buying multiple sizes of Qubes, I wanted the Qube information for several sizes.

So I created a Quick Reference Guide for every Qube!

In this guide, you have all of the information at your fingertips in a larger print to figure out how to cut out the shapes you need from your AccuQuilt GO! Qubes and Strips.  There are visual guides to all of the shapes.  It contains what size strips to cut and how many shapes you can get out of a strip.  It also includes fan folding information and how many shapes are on a die board.  This convenient guide gathers all the information you need in one place!

There are 4 pages of information for each size of GO! Qube:

  • Shapes 1 – 8 included in the AccuQuilt GO! Qube Mix & Match
  • Shapes 9-12.1 included in the AccuQuilt GO! Qube Companion Corners
  • Shapes 13- 16 included the AccuQuilt GO! Qube Companion Angles
  • A page with the corresponding block and Side and Corner Setting Triangles, plus Grid information to go beyond the Four Patch original block designs.

Bonus

I have also created TWO pages of information on the various GO! Strip dies containing all of the information to help you figure out what to cut and how much fabric you will need.

This AccuQuilt GO! Qube Quick Reference Guide is so handy and I don’t even have to grab my readers to see the print. I made mine even easier by printing the Guide on Card Stock and I punched a hole in each one for a ring to hold them all together.

You can purchase the guide in my shop.

    New Pattern – Bundle Up Holiday Coasters

    Posted in Gift Ideas, Home Accessories, Patterns for Sale, Published by

    Hello Friends! I have a new pattern available called Bundle Up Holiday Coasters. Featuring four mix and match designs, these super cute little guys are the perfect last minute homemade gift. All of the designs are centered around my Bundle Up for Winter theme, a mitten, stocking, Knit Cap and Turtleneck with Sweater Vest.

    This pattern started out with the Mini Mitten which was published by itself in Modern Patchwork Gifts back in 2016. It was so cute, I had to add a few more coaster designs to create a collection.

    Want to add a little pizazz to your coasters? Try fussy cutting and piecing the sweater vest with adorable prints like these. You can go crazy creating these. For these coasters, I quilted by using straight stitch quilting on the diagonal with a walking foot about 1/4″ apart.

    Need to whip up the coasters in a jiffy, go for the simple stocking and just a 3 way color scheme. Those polkadots are just too cheery. Again I am straight line quilting with a walking foot, this time straight up and down.

    These coasters don’t take much fabric either, you could easily make them with your holiday fabric scraps.

    The pattern is available now in my Etsy Shop HERE.

    If you like this pattern, check out my other holiday patterns below:

    Required: A running copy of EQ8 Quilt Design Software from The Electric Quilt Company.

    AccuQuilt Block On Board (BOB)

    Required: You will need the AccuQuilt BOB die set in the size that matches the EQ8 library file in order to cut out these block designs with the AccuQuilt GO! Cutter.  Make sure your cutter is the right size for the BOB die.

    This is a downloadable digital file that you will place into your personal block library.  Once you place the block file in your library, you will be able to use it immediately to draw and design quilts.  I have included all of the instructions to add the files to your EQ8 Design Software.  You will receive the EQ8 Block library, a block reference guide and an instruction document.  The blocks are all labeled to match the reference guide.

    Now you can use the power of EQ8 to recolor and combine blocks to design beautiful quilts.

    Once you have designed your quilt, you can use your AccuQuilt GO! Cutter to make it.  Be sure to go through my Informational Instructions as I have also included tips and suggestions for determining what dies to use and how to determine fabric requirements.

    I hope you enjoy these files as you create your BOB design quilts.

    In Memory of Cookie Cat

    Posted in Charity, Patterns for Sale by

    I had the best kitty in the world. His name was Cookie Cat and he was special. A lovely gray and white tabby, he was gentle and kind and he smelled like cotton candy. He was my quilting companion and he had my heart.

    He would follow me downstairs to my sewing room and just stay with me while I sewed and quilted.  Whenever I started quilting, he would appear and try to help.  I would look away for a second and he would be…right..THERE.  LOL

    I had this little rolling cart and I finally put his cat bed in there and I would just roll him around the room with me.

    In 2017, I designed a quilt in his honor with a big block and his sweet face on it and I called it, Cookie cat. 

    I thought it was adorable and versatile, four blocks for a baby quilt and one block for a pillow. 

    We have a little black kitty named Oreo too and to not be left out, I made some Halloween pillows in the pattern for him too.

    But this sweet boy was my little shadow.  At the beginning of 2020, he was diagnosed with cancer.  I was glad to be home due to Covid to take care of him.   He was spoiled rotten and got anything he wanted.

    He started to just come and want to sleep in the bay window in front of my sewing machine.  He could see the birds and squirrels.  He would still follow me downstairs and just be with me while I quilted and sewed.

    He passed away just after Thanksgiving and it hit me hard.  I still miss him.  I decided that I would do something to honor his devotion to me and celebrate that pure love he gave to me.

    I have updated my Cookie Cat pattern with his picture and I have reduced the price in my shop.  You can find it HERE!

    This year, 2021, I am going to give the proceeds from this pattern to my local humane society.  A tiny way to give back to the place where I rescued Cookie cat to begin with and a way to honor and grieve him in a positive way.

    I appreciate your support of my charity this year and wish you too will experience the joy and unconditional love of a pet.

    Warm Wishes, 

    Lori

    New Product! Add-on EQ8 Block Library for AccuQuilt Qube: Nine Patch Party

    Posted in accuquilt, EQ8, Patterns for Sale by

    Let’s have a party!  A Nine Patch Party!  I am pleased to introduce the next set of  Add-on EQ8 Block Library files designed to work with your AccuQuilt Mix & Match Qubes.  Included are 60 gorgeous Nine Patch variation block designs that you can load into EQ8 Quilt design software.

    EQ8 is Quilt Design Software by The Electric Quilt Company.  I design my quilts in EQ8, I teach EQ8 and I use EQ8 in my original patterns.

    These convenient block designs work with the Accuquilt GO! Qube Mix and Match Die sets.  You can use the Die Shapes in the GO! Qubes to cut out these blocks with speed and accuracy.

    These EQ8 Block Library files are downloadable digital files that are designed to work with your EQ8 Quilt Design Software.  They are only compatible with EQ8.  Once you place the block file in your library, you will be able to use it immediately to draw and design beautiful quilts.

    Required: A running copy of EQ8 Quilt Design Software.

    60 Gorgeous Nine Patch Blocks!

    I have included 60 Nine Patch Party Block designs from beginner to challenging, from traditional to creative.  You are sure to find some great options to design and color your own quilts in EQ8.

    These blocks are Nine Patch Blocks that can be cut out with your Go! Qube Mix & Match Set, no companion dies are needed.

    Since the Nine Patch design is based upon a 3 x 3 grid, your finished block sizes will finish larger as indicated in the chart below.

    block sizes

    Nine Patch Party is available in all of the GO! Qube sizes.  They are color coordinated by size in the shop so you can find the size you need.

    Complete Instructions including Die Cutting Guide!

    Each set of library blocks comes with a complete set of Instructions, a Block Reference Guide and a Die Cutting Guide.

    The Die Cutting Guide provides pictures of the Nine Patch Party blocks and which shapes are needed from the Qube to cut out that block similar to the picture above.

    Please note:  If you have more than one size of Qube, you only need one size of the block library.  Once you have the EQ8 Library for AccuQuilt installed into EQ8, you can easily resize to your other size Qubes as it will scale properly.  You can certainly purchase other sizes for convenience, but it is not necessary.
