How the list of free pattern websites is organized It’s a great way to support the designers and makers of the products you love and thank them for being so generous with their content. So, I would encourage you, as you are able, to find ways to support the shops and businesses below by purchasing their products. While the site owners are generous, they ultimately make their living from the sale of quilting patterns and products. Now, who doesn’t love a freebie? (I actually have a few freebies on this site, and after compiling this list I feel like my next project needs to be beefing up my own list of free offerings!) While free is a really good thing, I think it’s important to keep in mind that at some point somebody worked very hard to design and write the patterns that you will find on these sites. I apologize for not giving you much in the way of quilting eye candy, but I promise that if you click on the links, you will have more than you can handle! Some of these may be familiar to you, but hopefully, a few on this list will be newly found treasure! Over time, I found several sources where I could download the patterns for free, and I thought I would share those with you today. When I first started quilting, I collected many patterns, mainly because I was on the hunt for patterns that explained various techniques in a clear and concise way. Many of these sites offer hundreds of free downloadable quilt patterns. And I’m not just talking about a few patterns here and there. These are websites where you can find FREE downloadable quilt patterns. Hello, again friends and fellow quilters! I’m back with a quick post to link you up with some of my favorite places on the web.
