Hi,
That's a bit different that the pattern wsn't included in your kit. When we make up kits we always include the pattern...if not, then we mark the tag as "will need _______book" or pattern.
I would write a note or call the quilt shop and explain this and if they ask, tell them you purchased the book all ready.

I was looking at the Connecting Threds catalog and all of their kits have a free pattern and instructions but I think they own those patterns I bet that is the difference. The shop I went to cuts their own fabric for these kits.

But glad you got the book at a good price.
And there are no dumb questions here,,,,,,,,,

I have only seen kits without a pattern one time but the kits were displayed around the book and if you bought a kit and the book you got a discounted price. There was a sign with the display explaining 1 kit and book something like 5% off, 2 kits and book 10% off. They had a kit for every project in the book.
I bought the just the book because I didn't particularly like some of the fabric in the kits and I wanted to make substitutes. In hindsight it probably would have been cheaper for me to buy a kit or 2 and the book and just substitute the fabrics. I never do anything the easy way :?
Sounds like you did better than I did :-)

Don't feel bad, it's happened to me. Yes, the quilt employee should have explained there was no pattern enclosed and directed you to the book both patterns were in. Sounds like you came out though ahead. Good for you!

At least that is what I would be thinking if I got home and found no pattern in the kit. Thankfully you were able to get the book. But look at all of the people you have made aware of a possible problem. We will all make sure we don't have that happen to us! :?
