Name of book: "The It's Okay If You Sit On My Quilt Book" by Mary Ellen Hopkins. It has over 350 different block designs of all different "patches", trees, roads, crosses, butterflies, etc, instructions on how to set a design "on point", diagonal sets, and on and on. There is also graph paper pages, how to figure the number of blocks needed, and much more. This is a wonderful and inexpensive book for beginners and for experienced with 111 pages all filled with blocks like you see in the picture below. I got my book on Amazon used (it was actually like new) for around $10 about a year ago. The reason I am posting this is because I recently posted a couple of pictures of my Autumn Table Toppers and many wanted to know where to get the pattern. I have sent some the pattern card for it, but this book has similar things and is WAY more economical. I guarantee you will love this book. Let me know if anyone has one or buys one. If I mentioned the date October 17, 1987 - would that mean anything to you? On that day I was driving ME from Massachusettes to Vermont while the NY Stock Exchange was crashing big time! DH hasn't let me forget it. Said it was worse than what Nero did while Rome burned. I don't buy into that, though. :( Have the book & used it quite a lot, especially for reference. Made a few small quilts with 1/4" logs. |
I have another book of interest. It is "The Block Book" by Judy Martin. Such a fun book.
|
I have one of her other books saw her on Alex Anderson's quilt show she was great, however, she has passed and will be missed.

I have this book. One of the first books I purchased when started quilting. I also went to 2 of her lectures/demo sessions She is a riot. just love the book. Great source for block exchanges.

I just went on Amazon and found one for $19.99. Are there any places to get it for less?
|
Ha! Because my mother always called me Sharon Anne, I started signing things that way - got a little dicey when I had to sign things legally :-)
With my married name my initials spell "ASH", which I should be grateful for I think. My maiden name would have been "ASO" - not so nice :0 |
I found it for less then $12, plus $4 shipping just by putting the name of the book in my search engine. There were several available around that price.
