Designs by my DGS Joey
#22
He has been wanting his own EQ for quite awhile now. His mom told him he could not download it onto her computer as she didn't have the room. So He got a computer of his own for Christmas and the first thing he said was he wanted to download my EQ program. As I am allowed to put it on 2 computers and haven't til now I let him downnload it on his pc. He is enthralled with it!! He has OCD and it plays into his obsession with geometrics but he has a natural eye for placement and color etc. He does have alot to learn about making them user friendly but he is off to a good start.
I do have designs he has done on my computer too. He has spent alot of time playing on mine over the last 3 yrs.
He has a high IQ. He is in 6th grade but tests out at 11th grade in reading and was in a TAG program for gifted students. His mind is always running on high and way ahead of him. He is always questioning what if or why and gets down to minute detail. It takes alot to keep him occupied so giving him this EQ is a great way to channel all that busyness and questing for new things!! He reads the encyclopedia for fun and challenges himself all the time. So this was a natural element for him to learn to design.
I am going to give him the link tonight so he can read this thread. He will be so thrilled to hear all of your comments!!
Thank you so much for all of your kind comments!! It is important to me to encourage him to succeed in this!

WOW! Holy Cow! I have EQ6 and have designed one really boring ugly quilt! I have had EQ7 since it came out and haven't even had the guts to install it!!
I am amazed and so very very impressed with his designs! I would LOVE to see a couple of those designs as quilts! I personally think you shouldn't change him from busy designs. I have seen some very complicated but very beautiful quilt designs for sale out there! He will figure out the "busy-ness" on his own at some point. Especially if you try to work on creating a quilt with him. You could talk to him as you make it letting him know areas where you struggle. For now, try to let him be as creative as he wants to be (which I know you do.) He is a natural talent! Keep us all posted if you manage to get a workable pattern out of one of those!!! I am definitely interested!
FAN-tastic!

Those are amazing! Joey you are very talented. I hope someday you will make one of those beauties! They would even be unusual cards. I especially like number 7...I can imagine it being a really nice quilt. Keep up the good work!
