  5. Hi Michele, what an impressive list of link, and what an awesome amount of typing for you....WOW!
    Thanks for sharing, including the information about the sneaky 'link up'. With so much tech. information available, I don't understand why some people have to get their own way by cheating. I'm not much on gigets, thank goodness. Hugs, Finn

    We'd like to use your July/Foundation Piecing pattern for the flag, Seasons and Celebrations for a shop hop. We'd like to make it as our store sample and give the pattern away as a free pattern. Are we able to do that? If you could email me, we can give you more details. Patchesnpetticoats@charter.net
    Thank you.

  7. Please note, unless specific patterns are listed as mine and include my own tutorials, all of these free patterns are repeatedly listed as being LINKS to other's patterns. I am not able to give to give permission for use of any of them in any commercial or public fashion. Please check with the website for this particular pattern, which is quiltmaker.com. For the specific link go here: http://www.quiltmaker.com/patterns/details.html?idx=13441

    I truly appreciate everyone who comes by and for your comments, especially when you are able to use any of the links that I provide but it's also important to read all of the caveats and understand that the majority of all free links on almost all of the websites are simply links to other's websites.

    Thanks so much! Now, go here: http://www.quiltmaker.com/patterns/details.html?idx=13441 and see if you can find an email link to use your request and the very best of luck to you. It truly sounds like a great idea and a fun time for all~
