Does any one know of any good websites for quilting?

Question

I have finally found time to take up my favorite hobby of making

quilts. I would love to find a website about quilting and quilting

patterns.

Answer 1

My all time favorite link for quilt blocks is:

http://www.quilterscache.com/

but there are so many other links out there, that there wouldn't be enough space to type them all here.

What kind of quilting do you prefer? Traditional, contemporary, art, crazy quilts? Do you piece and quilt by hand or machine? Are you a very new, quilter or comfortable with different techniques?

If you want to learn new things at the comfort of your home, I highly recommend taking classes at http://quiltuniversity.com/

I'm currently taking my second fabric dyeing class there. The class prices are very reasonable and you work at your own pace. The students can ask questions in the forum for the teacher to answer and send pictures of their work in to the student gallery for the other students and the teacher so see.

If you want to take a peek at some things I do, you can click below:

I teach a variety of quilt classes from a progressive sampler (in which students will build on their skills with each class) to strip pieced tumbling blocks and lone star quilts that are all done by machine, and Hawaiian and Celtic style quilting by hand. Currently I'm working on a Jinny Beyer quilt (Moonglow) http://www.jinnybeyer.com/ax_commerce/sh...

and Dear Jane blocks. http://www.dearjane.com/

But here are some more links for you to get started:
