Packing It Up

A Stitch in Time is going on hiatus for the summer, as we've bought a new house and I have to pack up the QIP, my frame and everything else for the move. I'll be back in September, but in the meantime, some links to check out:

Links to 846 sites that offer free quilt patterns are listed here.

Freepatternsonline.com offers a number of simple quilt blocks, instructions and piecing ideas for download.

La Conner Quilt Museum is raffling off a gorgeous quilt this September -- details on how to get $1 tickets are here.

Quilting at About.com offers interesting articles, freebies and quilt maker advice.

The Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum offers tips on quilt care here.

Victoriana Quilt Designs -- pretty, well-organized site. Membership is $22.50 a year, but VQD offers some freebies to non-members, including block of the month and seven quilt label designs as well as a free quilting lessons page.

The Virginia Quilt Museum -- the front page has a neat slideshow of quilts from the museum's collection. Another place I need to visit next time I'm up north.

The Wisconsin Museum of Quilts and Textiles has a wonderful collection of quilt stories here.
