Late Night Quilting Solution

photo from webshots.com It’s Sunday night and you have finally finally found some time for yourself, and immediately think you’ll head to your quilt room and start that baby quilt you need for next month’s baby shower. You know your fabric stash has plenty of gorgeous baby theme fabrics, but --  eek! you don’t have a pattern in hand! You ordered one from Every Quilt Pattern in the Universe dot com, but that was a week ago and it’s not arrived, despite paying $4.50 for priority shipping!

Decision time – do you once again park yourself in your favorite chair for another unproductive night of television, or do you head to computer for several hours of cruising the web to find just the right free pattern – thus eating up that precious quilting time you thought you had!

Now there is a third choice – head to The Quilt Pattern Shoppe, where you can find more than 230 quilt patterns from a diverse and talented group of designers. Patterns are complete with full templates (when required) and instructions, and all ready for instant download. And without shipping charges.

Here is a an example of just one of the many patterns available at The Quilt Pattern Shoppe. This pattern is called the “Baby Charm Gift Set”. Make this charming baby quilt (size: 35" square) and two bibs to match with rick rack trim and terry cloth. Pattern has full size templates and bib patterns included. The price is $8.00.

The Quilt Pattern Shoppe offers a large variety of quilt patterns to suit every quilter – easy quilts, appliqué quilts, bed-sized quilts, baby quilts, table runners, wall hangings, and more. Shopping their online store is easier than most, since the patterns are categorized in several ways – type of quilt, experience of quilter, size of quilt, etc. Prices are inline (or slightly less) than you normally pay at your local quilt shop or from your favorite online quilt store (less shipping, of course!).

These days, you can purchase and download music instantly from Apple's iTunes Store. You can download and watch Videos from Amazon.com. You can print postage right from your computer from Stamps.com.  It only makes sense that a company would think to offer full designer quilt patterns ready to be instantly printed from your home computer! It’s an idea whose time has come… especially late on Sunday night when you finally finally have time for yourself…
