And then there is always the person that does not want to spend the money on a class or pattern and wants you to teach them the procedure or loan out your book. I don't mind sharing but it can be costly to take classes and books are not cheap either.

I've know a couple of folks like that over the years. Personally if someone asks for a recipe or a pattern I am flattered and will go to great lengths to provide it. My little craft club is made up of seniors like me and we trade recipes, sewing projects, and ideas of all sorts.
As one member suggested, take a picture and post it here. I think she is right, you'll have the name of the pattern before the day is out.

How sad. Quilters I know are eager to share anything related to quilting. Whatever pattern is used always looks different, as we all have our own tastes in fabrics. Perhaps you can do a search if you remember the block design.

I would be honored if someone asked me for a pttern!!! I know that most quilters are that way....I commend the ones that share -- I noticed that Riversong shared a tute on her centerpieces even though she is selling them!!! How very thoughtful and unselfish!!! All quilters should be that way ~ unfortunately there a few that arent forth coming - maybe ask one of her quilting "buddies" - they may be able to tell you Cheryl :D

Good recipe is here: http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/spanak...ii/Detail.aspx

My former MIL was an excellent cook & enjoyed it very much. I quickly learned after trying a couple of her recipes that even though she would gladly share the recipe, she would leave out some necessary ingredient so yours would never compete with hers. I was young & trusted everybody then, but I finally figured out her secret.
