Both of these are great sites!

I like thequiltshow.com

I am one not to follow patterns and like a web site that gives me the vision of different people. I get guidance rather than instruction and I love that.

IrishNY 04-10-2010 08:19 AM

Quiltshops.com - great place to find fabric.

dglvr 04-10-2010 08:38 AM

I have to many favorites to list. But if I'm looking for something in particular I will go to "Over the Rainbow"
first. They are on Camano Island in Washington and I've been there and know how much fabric they have. So not only is it one of my favorite websites its my favorite quilt store to visit. :thumbup:

Maggiesmom 04-10-2010 09:05 AM

www.quilterscache.com is what I use most. I like the McCall's quilting site tpoo.

BellaBoo 04-10-2010 09:13 AM

Quiltville is one of my top picks. I think Youtube is an excellent online quilting site!

Elly 04-10-2010 11:43 AM

Great for mysteries and BOM.

Enjoy!

T-Bones mom 04-11-2010 03:39 AM

My vote would be You Tube. I go there all the time to see videos on quilting.

mar32428 04-11-2010 04:56 AM

This was a new site for me. WOW! What gorgeous patterns. I suppose I could move my UFOs into another room so at least I won't see them.

calicocat 04-11-2010 05:11 AM

quilters cache and quiltville.com also I like block central.com

quilter64779 04-11-2010 05:56 AM

I like youtube alot as it has so many videos and I have to see it done to know what I'm doing. Also quilterscache when looking for a certain pattern. I also like Penny Halgren as she has teleseminars on the phone or webseminars some times. They are really interesting.

SaraSewing 04-11-2010 06:29 AM

I too vote for quilterscache and quiltville.

Teacup 04-11-2010 06:47 AM

Quilterscache is also my favorite. (Just a reminder that it is free, but the lady who organizes it could use some support to keep it going, and if you are interested, you may want to send $1 a pattern for what you download, or any contribution at all. Information is on the website.)

I recently signed up for the Tip of the Day from About.Com's quilting site and there is a LOT of good information there about many quilting topics.
www.quilting.about.com

Based on recommendations from Board members here I've recently started going to Quilters TV at www.quilterstv.com for free quilting shows.

I love quiltville too. I love making scrappy quilts and she has some great free patterns. And her instructions are very easy to follow.

Oh MoMo, your avatar of the kitty cleaning my screen is fantastic. I really needed a wash-up.

Shelbie 04-11-2010 10:11 AM

This is a favourite for me. Not only does it list so many sites, each site has free patterns. The owner of this site also posts free patterns of her own and they are very well written and easy to follow.

harryb1834 04-11-2010 01:41 PM

Great sites so far. It looks like quilterscache is a keeper!

Keep those sites coming...

TammyD 04-11-2010 02:12 PM

Thanks for the site info. I copied the 2009BOM from the Persimmons site. Great information!

Lizzygail 04-11-2010 02:29 PM

Allourquilts.com is another quilt board similar to this one only much smaller. Great ladies on there though and we do block swaps and fabric swaps. I also like quiltville.

Thanks, I'll give that a try, hadn't tought of it as a resource for quilting!

jljack 04-11-2010 06:32 PM

I like About.com/quilting for really good instructions on blocks, plus some very original patterns. She gives them for free, and hosts a gallery where you can send in your pictures. I tell all my quilting newbie friends to go there for instructions and tutorials...she is great!!

zz-pd 04-11-2010 06:33 PM

the board is really the only one I go to, because there are so many wonderful people on here, and all are very help full. I am a new quilter and in a bad place in my life, and a lot of wonderful people have stepped forward and gone the extra mile to help me out, there are ladies on her who have sent me fabric,books,magazines,thread, a bag of batting,and even ink for my printer. all so I could learn to quilt, some have come forward in spiritual support, when I could not handle the pain any more physical or mentally. they have reached out to me when I could only see one way out. there I said it out loud sorta. you can visit any site, but this one is a home, were people care. I hope I don't upset anyone with what I wrote. Penny
