Mrs Noah's Patchwork Quilt ~ the book

I know I am always going on about how blessed I feel 
when I make a happy discovery at an OpShop (Thrift Store).
Like my retro books, biscuit press, crockery finds.
Well, this latest visit was no exception.

This book "Mrs. Noah's Patchwork Quilt" cost me 30cents!
And what a gorgeous book, see below.


The story is lovely too.

 My boys are rather taken with it also.
Which is why i couldn't get a page shot without 
Little Pipkin helping me to display it.

Inside the backcover are all of these images from the book.
With instructions on how to create your own quilt.
I have photocopied them for my boys to colour in 
(to save the originals for the day I may get around to using them!)

 A search on The Book Depository found other works by Janet Bolton, such as:
Patchwork Folk Art

Hmmm, Shall keep my eye out for this one and others like it. 
There were so many!
