Online Resources

Several popular quilting websites correspond to television shows. Networks such as Home and Garden Television's "Simply Quilts" and several shows on the Do It Yourself Network have their own websites. Additionally, shows from popular PBS series have their own websites. Any information discussed in the show is posted on the website. Similarly, any projects that are featured in the show are posted on the website, making it unnecessary to sit in front of the television with pen and paper frantically scribbling notes.

Accomplished quilter Judy Martin's website provides a plethora of information. Judy Martin has created the most original quilting patterns of any other quilter. Her website offers a shopping opportunity to purchase her books of patterns and an excellent resource for all quilters. Judy's website also has class outlines that can easily be used as self-tutorials or used at meetings of quilting groups or organizations. Viewers are encouraged to participate in the material present on the webpage by sending in tips, comments, and suggestions.

Perhaps the quilting webpage with the most information is the World Wide Quilting Page. This site features a "block of the month" series that allows quilters to have a wide variety of patterns in their arsenal. Additionally, the World Wide Quilting Page contains a great deal of information for both the beginning and expert quilter. This website also has message boards, so quilters can communicate, share patterns, and talk about their projects no matter where they live. (www.quilt.com)
