Several days ago, I posted on a Patch-collecting blog I ran across Bob McCanless’ The Patch Blanket at http://www.patchblanket.blogspot.com/.
There is also a webisite http://www.patchblanket.com/. This site appears to be more of a combination of a blog and forums. The webmaster of the site is Jason Spangler. The front page has several recent posts on a variety of collecting topics. These seem to be individual messages from the various forums.
Currently there are about 15 forums and 40 registerd members.
Give them a look.
