Nancy Spry
Nancy continues to be one of our highest volume testers. Nancy recently found out that her husband Danny has cancer. We hope and pray that you will come through these challenging times with hope and courage. The following photos are finished blocks Nancy has tested, mostly using her own fabric. Thank you Nancy for your work, and I hope you will find peacefulness in the months ahead as you comfort and strengthen your husband.

YES! Please *DO* photocopy our patterns and share them with your friends! Really!
We continue to get email from people who just can't believe our patterns are free to photocopy and use with no strings attached. Yes they are! Our patterns are free, free, free and you can copy them and share them with everyone you know! When you make quilts using our patterns, YES you can sell your quilts! YES you can exhibit your quilts! YES you can enter your quilts in contests. Please credit FourTwinSisters.com on the back if you make a quilt using our designs. Simple, huh? You can even modify the designs as necessary (enlarge, simplify, etc.) The only thing you CANNOT do with our patterns is put them on your website (unless you link to the pattern on free-quilt-patterns.net), or copy the patterns and try to sell or distribute them as your own.
