OMG! EQ7 is here!
Friday, May 14, 2010 at 5:32PM ;)
I have no idea why, but the UPS man just left, leaving me with a complimentary copy of EQ7, sent directly from Electric Quilt!
It’s not even supposed to be out until mid June! Am I excited? Heck yes! A month early, and free?
I don’t know if a copy was sent to everyone who announced the release on their blogs? (Per EQ’s request, we were sent an email asking us to do so).
Or maybe because I was rather public about protesting the activation policy of EQ6?
All the included note says is, “Dear EQ Friend, It is with such pleasure that we send you this complimentary EQ7 to enjoy! We have been thrilled to share the program withour friends and we hope that you will find creative and fun ways to use EQ7 and share with your community”.
That’s incredibly generous, and I’m incredibly honored! I was already ecstatic that they changed their activation license, it’s now completely fair and reasonable, and that’s all I ever wanted… a free upgrade is over the top! Woohoo!

That's it I'm jealous. I'm an EQ lover from way back.
Maybe it is because you were vocal of what you disliked - I have seen it announced on quite a few blogs I wouldn't think all got a complimentary copy - it will be interesting to see if anyone else says they got it. I am dismal at computer programs if I do not use over and over again to learn so I never got into EQ - I have number 5 I believe and rarely used it.

I'm glad I re-read my post because I missed the L and it said "ucky you". Now, that wouldn't be nice. lol
Can't wait to hear all about it and see what you create.
Hot Dog!!! That is wonderful....I'm so happy for you. It is always wonderful to get a surprise isn't it?
Enjoy and thanks for showing us the box...LOL

Wow! Lucky you! Maybe I'll go check my front door! Have fun. p.s. your Lone Star quilt looks great!
Congratulations CJ!! What a wonderful surprise!!
Wow CJ! Very very cool :) Can't wait to here your thoughts on it. AND I can't wait for my copy to arrive in June :) Hey.......now here's a thought about HEARING your thoughts.....have you thought about starting a podcast????? I would subscribe for sure. Enjoy your weekend!!!
Wow! Congrats, CJ, that's terrific! I'm jealous, of course. ;)
Awesome! I have been considering EQ since discovering the joy of quilting.
CJ,
I have an email with a UPS tracking # and my copy is in Phoenix, and should be at my door by Monday. I really wished UPS made Saturday deliveries. I won a copy for my blog. I'm so glad it is coming early!!
I can see your smile over here, CJ. You rock!!
Hurray for you!! You are always fair in your comments, stating the facts, but not in a mean way. What a great present for you!!! I'm smiling thinking of you playing away!
Man, is really nice of the company to do that! I wish that i knew how to use my EQ6, EQ5, and EQ4....sigh Polly
Well, you're famous........and you know computers and software....and you have a great blog that can highlight features.......EQ is smart. Congrats!
As my father in law always said, "Free is better than wholesale."
Good move on their part. Marketing is far more productive than mircro managing / controlling.
Can't wait to hear what you think-it is on my list of things I want-now to learn V6 for my Bernina, my 830 and buy EQ6-what a goal!!
