    I was led to believe you are offering free beginner quilt patterns which in turn sparked my interest in doing business with you but this appears to be false advertising for I see no link to access the free patterns. I am interested in all of them, particularly, "Pieces of My Heart". Please advise. Thank you.

    Are these patterns ever going to become available? I see on some other free pattern offers, they were supposed to be available sometime in mid November and now at the end of January. I feel like we are being "strung" along. This is very frustrating.
