oh my goodness, that's a very broad question!
You mention handwork - paper piecing, applique and so on. "Piecing the Past" shop has a BOW (block of the week), that focuses on more traditional patterns, with "reproduction" fabrics. She just started a new one last Monday - the patterns are free via email, but if you sign up AFTER it's started, any weeks you missed are 99 cents.
Here's the link:

Here on the Quilting Board, in the "Challenges and Contests" sub-site, there was a thread going for her previous BOW.
If you're into scraps, Bonnie Hunter's "Quiltville" is a good place for all things scrappy. Lots of free patterns, and she just finished the "New Year's Mystery Quilt".
When I Googled "traditional quilting blogs", this list came up:

One of my very favorite teachers for drafting the quilting designs (as opposed to piecing designs) is Lisa Calle, at
www.lisacalle.com or
www.stonehousequilting.com . I have to admit, I'm something of a "groupie" for all things Lisa - I love how she teaches and I love her tools.
For "modern" quilting, my personal fave is Judi Madsen. Oh, the TEXTURE in her quilting!!! it's something to behold!!
For wholecloth quilting ideas/inspiration, I search on architecture - especially "Cosmati" architecture.
And the number one place I go for inspiration, friendship, support, encouragement, ideas.... etc., etc. -is right HERE on the Quilting Board. No matter where else I go, I always come back here - to share, to ask questions, to get support, to learn. This is the BEST place, over all.
