Today I decided to check out all the free patterns offered by quilt fabric manufacturers. I found tons of quilts I loved and thought I'd share my picks from each company.
There were so many that I chose to take one company per post.
There will be a series of posts in my 'FREE Patterns' postings.
These are some quilts I love from Free Spirit. Go check them out for more free patterns!

Last Minute Mother's (Ladies) Day Gifts

12:49 AM | Posted by Mel
OK, you still have a few days (and counting) to hand-make something wonderful for your mother, mother-in-law, daughters, friends, yourself for Mother's Day!
I've gathered some of my favs that are easy and impressive and they've all come from bloggers that I actually 'know' or communicate often with via blogs!
* * * * * * * *
Make a lasting bouquet of flowers; Going Sew Crazy has a tutorial!
* * * * * * * *
Make a fabric card, tutorial by Craft Apple
* * * * * * * *
Make an adorable Doll House pot holder designed by Nanette of Freda's Hive
(Yes, this is MY Doll House pot holder that sweet Nanette gave me!)
* * * * * * * *
Dottie from Apples Quilts and More shares a tutorial for a paper bag album
* * * * * * * *
Sherri of A Quilting Life has a great tutorial on a table topper or small wall quilt using 5" charms.
* * * * * * * *
Why not keep it easy?
Get your favorite lady a gift certificate to Jane's Fabrics?
Who wouldn't love (MORE) fabric??
or pick something special from
online quilt shop!
* * * * * * * *
I know you know someone who loves bags and totes! Stephanie's got instructions for a great one here at her Loft Creations!
* * * * * * * *
These two are super useful gifts that any quilter / seamstress would love. Karen of Sew Many Ways is a genius with gadgets!
Karen's Car Caddy is probably the most innovative sewing idea I've ever seen, and she shows you how to make it!
Another handy item is her renovated Home Depot apron.
* * * * * * * *
There is no better place to find creative tutorials than on quilter's blogs, thanks to all who write tutorials and share!!
