TEMPORARY TATTOOS
From C&T Publishing
Retail: $14.95
A new gift idea from the Stash Books imprint, these temporary tattoos are colorful, a bit edgy, and surprisingly beautiful. Each set includes two sheets with 34 designs total. The first, “Handcrafted,” features the vibrant designs of Alison Glass. The second, “Off the Bias,” features fun designs from designer/illustrator Samarra Khaja. And although the tattoos are high-quality and can last for weeks, they can also be easily removed using baby oil.

EQ MINI QUILT DESIGN SOFTWARE
From The Electric Quilt Company
Retail: $89.95
Don’t let the name fool you…this new release from EQ doesn’t limit itself to designing “mini” quilts. Rather, it serves as a “mini” version of the full-feature EQ7 program. EQ Mini is designed for those just getting started with quilt design software, offering a scaled down, simpler (and more cost-effective) alternative to EQ7. Still, the program does include a library of 300 pieced and appliqué blocks, four layout styles, eight border types, and 3,500 scanned fabrics, plus complete layout and border-editing capabilities.
