Dust Off A Quilt Book ~ My Day!


Sunny Lanes Baby Quilt 


"Easy Four Patch Quilting" 
by Joanne Stauffer and Sandra Hatch





I have made this block by this name before for a block swap from


but never sewed it into a quilt.

I like the instructions in the book much better. 



Lots of strip and chain piecing.

I started it here

My kind of sewing!


I made one change from the pattern
I added tags to some of the four patch blocks  HERE


The 47" by 59" baby quilt calls for 12 of these 
Sunny Lanes Blocks.

I am sorry that I do not have a finished project to show you.



I am still working on this quilt.

I have been suffering from sinus related headaches this month.

This is not uncommon for me in late winter,
when the house has been closed up for months.
It slows me down even more than my normal snail sewing pace.

Silly me,  my love of books, blog hops and quilting
had me signing up for two blog hops in the same week
and I know how slow I sew.

I am a Quilt Book Bibliophile




This the book I have dusted off for the 






It was published in 1999.
I have no idea how long it has been on my shelf,
but I cannot recall ever sewing a pattern from this book. 


Like many of my quilt books I found it on 
a white elephant table at a quilt show
for a fraction of its original cost.

I love quilt books!

I usually have a stack near me and I browse and read 
all the time for ideas and just for fun.

Do you love quilt books?

Then you would love this book!


This book is a gem,
packed with 42 colorful projects and some basic quilt information
on only 175 pages.

I am down to choosing between three projects.

The blog hop is only a month away 
and I need to make a choice and get sewing.

While I am pondering my final choice I am perusing my favorite quilting sites.
