I am writing articles at substack that you can subscribe to for free and they will be emailed to you. Sign up for my newsletter emails via the substack notices  https://substack.com/@patsloanva  This is a simple signup. If you find it is asking you for a ton of stuff, then you clicked something you should not have clicked. Start again and carefully read it.

If you get a 404 page, use the SEARCH feature at the top right of my website. You can also try the wayback machine at https://web.archive.org/web/20250000000000*/ilovetomakequilts.com which may have something that did not come over in the move.

As you know 2025 was a dumpster fire for me.  I had my website company close and NOT move us to another location. I had 2 weeks to move my entire system, my newsletter company closed, another business service I use had a massive change, and I was in MT to help my mom move. Mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer and I spent 6 months helping her until she died at the end of 2025. (you can watch my tribute video at https://youtu.be/8uPlZEuZ7e8?si=WJ65yVdN7-LiXoAg

With 26 years in business, there is a massive amount of data that did not get moved over in the 2 weeks I had to do it. Right now I do not have plans to add things back, but I might at some point if I run the QAL again.  You can try the way back machine as sometimes the pages are still there. Unfortunately I had many website names over the 26 years and ran multiple blogs, so my data was massive and in several places.

As of right now if you can not find something, then it is out of print. Like your favorite icecream they don’t make anymore. The company won’t just produce one container of it for you, you have to wait until it is reissued by them.

Below are all the articles with the most current article at the top
