Customer Reviews

A wonderful story and first quilting book!

I found this book in our school library recently. The story is the one of the animals boarding Noah's ark. The illustrations are part of a larger quilt. Its really a beautiful book on its own. In the back cover,the peices for the quilt are drawn out for you in a canvass/cotton material. You can make your own quilt exactly as it is pictured in the book. I had to buy this book used because it is out of print. I am so pleased to find a book that will help me teach my neice how to quilt! The squares are small, and the quilt is about a metre long by half a metre wide. But the use of patchwork divies the work into smaller increments that beginners can take-up and put-down as needed!

Another kind of Noah's Ark book

As a collector of Noah's Ark books and also a quilter this book is very special to me. Janet Bolton has made an old fashioned, country style appliqued quilt of the story of Mrs. Noah. As the story goes on, so goes the sewing of the quilt. Each page has a picture of an appliqued quilt block and a few written lines about Mr. and Mrs. Noah.On the backcover of the book there is a special pocket containing fabric with the drawing of the block patters already printed on, and there are also instructions on how to make the quilt.A perfect book to read with your child, or just read yourself. And a perfect workbook on how to make the cutest Moah's Ark quilt.Britt Arnhild Lindland
