Missouri Star and Quiltville mentioned above, in addition to this site, are super. Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville gives lots of free patterns. Missouri Star has terrific You Tube tutorials. These are the "best of the best."

This isn't a quilting website per se but I like Pinterest. I'm following quite a few quilters and sewists and can easily pin inspiration, ideas, tutorials etc and categorize them to diff boards. Also I pin my own completed projects.

I'm looking for a store that sells unique quilting "stuff" to use as gifts. Would this be that type of store?

This is the greatest site for me. I have learned so much from reading all of the information that is here. Thanks

Allpeoplequilt.com Great newsletter and info and patterns.. and ideas....

Just being on the board has taught me so much. And you are sent to so many various sites from here.. Love the QB

Depends on what you want. I 100% agree with MattieMae for sites to learn how to quilt and to improve. Bonnie's patterns are wonderful, Jenny's tutorials on Missouri Star are excellent, and Leah is young and fresh with some wonderful ideas about free-motion quilting. For commercial sites, most of the fabric manufacturers have lots of free patterns and there are also plenty at AllPeopleQuilt and similar sites. Have fun -- you can't possibly cover all the websites, so go with what you like!

I agree with alienquilter, those 3 are my favorites
