Patterns?

There's a site by FourTwinSisters that has heaps of patterns, largely appliqué. They even do requests. Try here:

Sharon Malec does some wonderful patterns. Also, Margaret Rolfe has books of pieced animals of loads of different kinds. I only have one book - The Quilter's Ark - but I'm pretty sure she has done more, by now! I think I did hear of at least one. As to appliqué, perhaps you could start with Google, Images, trace from one of the photos you will find and go from there? . In message , Boca Jan writes

Have you tried kids coloring books? Many things in those are good for applique The Applique society has their quilt show in Tampa in May. If you could get to that you'd find lots. Gen
