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/downloadable-patterns Soon we

If you think you would like to take up the hobby of quilting, having a good quilting book will make it much more enjoyable. A quilting book will give you the guidelines that you need to understand the techniques and patterns in this beautiful art form. Quilting has been a favorite pastime of American women, and some men, since the late 1700's. Over the years quilting techniques have changed drastically, from hand quilting to using modern quilting and sewing machines. In the early years of quilting in America, many of the styles were those that were used in the European countries. These styles are very different from what we think of as the early patchwork quilt styles. A popular quilting method of this time was called broderie perse.
