Hey everyone, Its Kristean, I know a few of our block swap are new to quilting, So I went to the old search engine and found you some great FREE sites to get block patterns and quilting tips, Not that kelly and I wont help ( we would love to answer you questions, and kelly is doing a great job ) BUT, I thought that since most people get hooked on quilting after completing your first project, you will want to make more. SO go check out these two sites and quilt away....

www.freequiltpatterns.info/

www.freepatterns.com/

I will be searching for more stuff tonight and will post what I find... Happy quilting.....Kristean in Indiana

JUST GETTING ON INTERNET. NEW AT THIS STUFF. BEEN A QUILTER FOR A FEW YEARS, BUT ALWAYS LEARNING. THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE THIS POEM: THE QUILTER, AUTHER UNKNOWN........ONCE MY FINGERS TOUCH THE THREADS, WASHING, DUSTING, UNMADE BEDS FADE AWAY TO NOTHINGNESS. AND I , IN COMPLETE HAPPINESS LET MY HEART SOAR WITH MASTERS PAST. THE PATCHES BLEND DESIGNS SO FAST, THAT TIME FLIES BY AND THERE AM I... PEACEFUL, CREATIVE, CONTENTED, WHOLE-- QUILTING BECOMES MY VERY SOUL. BLESS ALL QUILTERS AND BLUEGRASS MUSIC FANS............ANN
