Welcome to Piecepatcher - one quilter's website. My name is Carolyn and I love quilting, digital scrapbooking and graphics, cross-stitch, Electric Quilting software, books, cats, Canada, and genealogy.  I also like sharing these interests with others. 

Piecepatcher features my quilting interests. You can download my free Quilted Calendars (wallpaper for your computer desktop), get free quilt projects and patterns, EQ ideas and sometimes files, find quilt inspiration, browse through the old calendar pages for more quilting and EQ ideas, flip through my quilt album and see some of the quilts and other things I've made, browse my favourite web links (mostly Canadian quilt sites), and see my "Dear Jane" quilt-in-progress (very slow progress). 

Quilted Calendars have a new (free) desktop wallpaper calendar for you, it's usually posted at the end of every month. Sign up for my calendar list (a yahoogroup) and I'll send you an email when the calendar's available ... plus you'll get access to subscribers-only bonus pages, like downloadable EQ project files or layout ideas using that month's calendar's block.

Etceteras is my blog where I share bits and pieces of my quilting life, what I've been sewing lately, what's finished and what's planned, sometimes knitting, cross-stitch or other things I'm working on.

Bookstore is where you'll find my Amazon.ca recommendations for books that I personally own - quilting, creative stitchery, and more - as well as other selections.  Purchasing your books through my bookstore links helps to support this website and is most appreciated!

Stuff I like! - the following are not paid advertisements, and I am not affiliated with these companies,
I just really like their software, and just want to let you know about their products.

I use Electric Quilt to design all my quilts and all the quilted calendars and projects on my website, I've bought several of their software programs and fabric collections.  Great product and great support from their friendly staff.

A useful little program for organizing records, I use AZZ Cardfile for all kinds of things, from my webpage links, address books, inspiration quotes, EQ tips and ideas, quilting projects, recipes and lots more.
