I've been jumping around eBay the last couple of days trying to find some patterns that I like. I keep finding these patterns that are a bargain ($1.99 or so) and when I open the link for the description, it says it's a pattern from a magazine with a picture of the finished product. Is this a good deal? Libraries usually have TONS of microfiched back issued magazines and copies are around 25 cents a page, why spend $4 or so (when you add in shipping) when you could spend less than a dollar at the library?
Anyone have any input?

Yeah, I was thinking that there was a better way. Good to know that I'm not the only one that was a little weary of it. Well, I guess I didn't see any of those magazine pages having bids. Good to know I'm not being too critical. :)

There is just so much online. Although, I have to admit to buying my "first" quilt pattern off of E Bay. It was before I knew there what I could fine online. Everybody is just trying to make a "buck".....

Hi Melissa,
I'm not new to this forum but I do read it! I have posted very few times. However when I read your "What's The Deal With eBay?" post, I thought maybe I can help! I have so many magazines and books on quilting and all are loaded with patterns. If there is anything in particular that you (or anyone else reading) would like to find, I would love to help. Just let me know what you're looking for - either by pattern name or description - and I'll do my best to help you find it. I'll even scan, print, trace or copy it and send it to you, no strings attached! I know I would certainly appreciate it if I needed a pattern and someone else 'shared' with me! You can contact me at this addy - [email protected]. Just put 'Quilt Pattern Help' in the subject line!
Also - I have looked at most of everyone's pics they have posted here of their projects and I have to say.. They are just GORGEOUS!! I will post some of mine when I get a chance. :wink:
Hugs and Stitches,
Karen
