Just opened mail, gift from friend

Front cover:

1. pretty fabric is not acceptable. go right back and exchange it for something you feel sorry for.
2. realize that patterns and templates are only someone's opinion and should be loosely translated. personally, i've never thought much of a person who could only make a triangle with three sides.

back:

6. throw away your seam ripper and repeat after me: "Oops. Oh well, no one will notice."

I love this lady's sense of humor...kinda whacked, just like mine.

My kind of quilter:)!!

I have this book and have intended to reread it (it's been over two years). Thanks for the reminder.

I'll have to read this one!!

I pulled this book off my shelf last night. Its always nice to laugh about something that sometimes we take way too serious. =)

:thumbup:

I call that look

"made by loving hands at home"

Can you give us the authors' name?

Lisa Boyer

It's a good "laugh-out-loud" book.

I loved this book...it was hysterical!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Naomi

I will add it to my request list at the library.

I read that book, it was hilarious!!

Thank you!!

Sounds like a great book! I'll have to keep an eye open for it!

I love this book. I read it every now and again, especially when I'm getting all tensed up over a quilting project. this book helps me to laugh my stress away and accept what I sew is still good.
Enjoy!!:)

Someone gave me this as a gift a couple of years ago. I have read a couple of times. Very good advice, and very, very funny! And, she's also written 'Stash Envy', another good one. She is very talented, both in quilting and writing, and is one smart cookie (and no, she's not a relative!!).

Ha. I'll need to find this book. I'm always looking for a good laugh. :thumbup:

I purchased it from a forum member and laughed all the way through it. And ... identified a little too much.

We certainly can take ourselves too seriously, can't we. My mom keeps reminding me that quilting should be fun. I agree.

I have that book, it's very funny. The author is Lisa Boyer and she has another book called "Stash Envy," that is also very funny. She is definitely not the quilt police, but a real person. :)

I have another book aimed towards husbands called" Help! I married a quilter" by Mark Hyland. This one is also funny.

It is on my list- sounds like my kind of book- Joan

I just ordered it from Amazon. Thanks

There's a couple on eBay for about $5
I just boutght one of em, so hurry

I paid 1 cent on Amazon and with shipping for 3.99 I got it for $4.00. Can't beat that deal either. :)

After all of the totally dumb mistakes I made yesterday, it would be a big relief to read this book and feel better about that silly quilt I am trying to finish

Loved that book!

i've got both of her books in my studio... on a bad sewing day i pick on up & get a good chuckle.. she's great.

I love her book! I thought it was hysterical!

Its a funny book!
