QBPN Now Sell Digital Patterns

For years we have been asked if we could sell digital patterns.  The truth is a lot of vendors were worried and rightly so about their work getting stolen and re-sold. It's vital that artists get paid for their work to keep the quilting community alive and thriving.  Once a pattern is sold there is also the matter of tracking what sells and how much of it sells. To this end.  We have worked on a few tech solutions that provide for instant downloads while still tracking all sales to the vendor and also tracking downloads to ensure the artist work is is not abused. As of today we are slowly adding in several downloadable patterns a day to our website.  If you are out of the US you no longer need to pay those crazy high international shipping prices.  If you are in a hurry and need the pattern now,  you can instantly purchase a downloadable pattern. All downloadable patterns can be found at -  https://quiltingbookspatternsandnotions.com/collections/do...

How to Make A Quilt

Quilt-making isn't easy. I confess that. But it's fun too! The more you do it, the better you'll get at it. And, like everything else in life, practice makes perfect. Before I share detailed step-by-step instructions on how to make a quilt, let me give you some background information first and what I learned during my own quilting journey. Pre-quilt Points You Need to Know Quilting consists of three main elements: the fabric, the batting (or stuffing), and the backing. The fabric is what you see on the front of the quilt, the batting is what goes in the middle, and the backing is what's on the back. You can use any type of fabric you want for your quilt top, but there are some things you should keep in mind. First, the fabric should be 100% cotton. Second, it should be quilt-weight or heavier.
