Welcome
to Country Lane Quilts
Quilting
has played a part in our country's heritage for centuries. Years ago, young girls often learned to quilt by making small
quilts for their dolls. Scrappy doll quilts have a great appeal and we're often drawn to the antique ones because
of their simple designs and naive charm. If you're a beginning quilter, learn the art of quilting today by starting
small. Make your own little keepsake quilt for a special doll, to hang on a wall or give to a friend. Many of my doll
quilt patterns introduce quilting to beginners, but even experienced quilters will have fun making these quick projects
as well as some of the larger ones in my books--all with a feel of the past. Take a journey into history with some
of the quilts in my books or try one of the free patterns and get started quilting today!
"You're never too old to
have a happy childhood."
Fairfield makes my
favorite batting for small quilts. Made of unbleached cotton, this natural batting is extremely soft and easy to needle, making
it ideal for hand quilting. It has moderate shrinkage when washed and has a nice drape that reminds me of antique quilts.
