There are a lot of patterns for Dresden Plate, including free patterns on the internet. However, if you really like Dresden Plate, you might consider purchasing acrylic templates to make it. Marti Michell (www.frommarti.com) has a set making 7", 10 1/2", and 12" Dresden Plates for $20. She also has a set for making 3" and 5" Dresden Plates with a bonus Mini Drunkard's Path for $16. I don't happen to own either of these sets, but I know from experience that she has wonderful instructions and extra ideas included with her template sets. In all, I own about 7 From Marti Michell template sets, five books, and six patterns (separate from those in the books) and I love them. I saw Marti at the AQS show in Des Moines so I have her newest catalog. Others also make template sets for Dresden Plates, but I cannot give an opinion of their templates since I don't own any of them.
