did you subcribe to this thread? if you did, you either told it to notify you by email if somebody else posts on it, or have the notification show up on your control panel only. if you didn't subscribe to it, you can go to your "my profile" link up top, then look for "find latest started threads" link under your avatar picture and click on that. there is also plenty of help to instruct you how to subscribe to a thread at this link...the PDF by PatriceJ on the first post. http://www.quiltingboard.com/qb-help...s-t165767.html

We have lots of tutes available here - and members post quilts that they design - what type of pattern are you looking for ?

I love the tutorial section. Lots of info!

maybe she means the references to www.quilterscache.com and similar sites?

Another place that lots of us use and refer others to is Bonnie Hunter's ~ http://quiltville.com/

I'm guessing she's referring to the ads for QB that are all over the internet claiming "Lots of free patterns and pictures" to be found here. I never really understood that claim, personally, as any free patterns are actually just scattered links to other websites and our personal photos should not be considered "free for the taking" by anyone. The images are, after all, copyright owned by the poster even if they didn't design the quilt pictured. Just my http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-forum/2c.gif

Love the 2 cents...hadn't seen that before!
