Welcome from KY!! Up on the top of the page where it says The Quilter's Message Board - right below it says search. You can click on that and put in what you want to search for like example put in apron and it will bring up topics about aprons. I hope this helps.
Also, About.com is a good one to look things up on.
Welcome aboard, hope you'll stick around and even pop in on chat from time to time. :)
