www.missouristarquiltco.com. they have a lot of tutorials. Then bookmark or add to your favorites. One link can lead to another. Then for some really good deals hit the thrift shops in your town or towns nearest you and also the yard and estate sales. Then have fun and play. Some of the patterns and tutorials you can download and have fun. Got some clothes of your own? Use them. I save some of my husbands shirts and jeans. Have fun! You'll be surprised also how nearly any photo or drawing will give you inspiration.
Went to an estate sale today of a known quilter. The woman running the sale threw away all of her fabric!!! She said they just didn't have space for it and didn't want to fool with it. But they had an entire room of wrapping paper and flaked Christmas tree balls. The woman running this sale is new to this business. She said I was the 5th person asking about the fabric and that she had learned her lesson. I guess that'll have to do!!
