I've often wondered the same thing.

Dot passed away in April of 2013 - http://montlawn.tributes.com/our_obituaries/Dorothy-Howard-Matthews-95665600

OMG!! I never knew that, just that she hadn't been posting and that her wonderful patterns were compiled here.

Thank you so much for letting us know.

Good Evening:  I want to thank everyone for helping me find once again the beautiful shawls and ponchos that I would like to make once again for my friends and relatives for Christmas.  I am so grateful..

Thank you all so much for helping me find the beautiful patterns that Miss. Dot created.  They are so beautiful.  I am making the Pleasing Pineapple in a light raspberry color.  Using red heart yarn super saver....

For some reason I cannot access any of these patterns.  I get a 404 error message as follows"

I posted this problem in the Help section so Amy and Donna would see this - hopefully this is an easy fix and they're not gone forever!

The patterns should all still be here in the forum. These links just no longer redirect.

I will need to take the time to search the forum and find the current correct links for them all. Unfortunately, I'm not sure when I will be able to do that. Crochetville is moving in to studio space this week, then I have a big local event next Saturday, and our grand opening the Saturday after that.

If any forum members have time to search out good links, if you could post them in this thread I would be most appreciative. I'll update the first post as soon as I possibly can.

I guess I have bad search skills for the 'ville, I only found chit-chat not patterns.

Her blog is still active, but most of the photos are missing http://patternsbydot.blogspot.com/

Empress Busy Bee- WOW! That is so nice of you to do this. I looked at the thread yesterday after trying to find one of Dot's patterns and made a mental note to start looking for links last night, but of course, got side tracked. Thank you. I'm sure it will help Amy a ton.

Great job and very nice of you to do this.  

[Sunny1954]

Thank you Busy Bee for helping me once again with the beautiful designer, Dottie.  Her patterns she had created years ago are appreciated by so many.  They are beautiful designed and fast and easy to make.  I wrote you on another page and I hope you receive my message.  I have been sick with my health issues, but, getting better now.  Thank you for taking the time and effort, I am truly grateful for all that you sent me to through my email.  God bless all of you!
