Nice and easy! EQ5 Simplified takes you step by gentle step on a learning journey through Electric Quilt 5. Master teacher Fran Iverson Gonzalez has created the perfect beginner's companion to Electric Quilt 5.

Fran's visual learning approach is time-tested. She's taught thousands of Electric Quilt students to master the basics, and then go beyond that.

example quilt 2 "I can't say enough good things about Fran Iverson Gonzalez's book. I'm the sort of person who hates reading most instruction manuals. This book, however, is more of a hands-on workbook. The lessons increase in difficulty as you create several stunning virtual quilts. It was like having the instructor in the room with me, and it was fun!"
