    General E-mail: customerservice@quiltinaday.com. This website is truly worthwhile:
    virtually all the links are live and on-point ... for instance, if you click on
    "download free patterns you will go immediately to a page listing 18 free PDF patterns.
    RELATED NOTE: If you search "making quilts" on Google, you get 2,200,000 leads.
    Most of them are junk-sites and are less than worthless, having lots of extraneous
    material and dead leads which will waste your time ( try it and see if you agree with us ).
    True quilters simply "know" Eleanor Burns, her company "Quilt in a Day" and her
    website through word-of-mouth and her television shows -- but neither "Eleanor Burns"
    or "Quilt in a Day" is among the lfirst 150 leads from Google. This shows how difficult it
    is for a neophyte to find things by simply searching on the internet.
