At Google Books you can read several chapters of her book for free. I read everyone of her articles in Quilters Newsletter. She was one of a kind.

A tangle with fangs? I've always used it as new fangled or fancy invention. I learned 2 new quilting words this week too...quilt poop and thread turds. Can't wait to throw those into a conversation! :lol:

I have heard new fangled or old fangled I have also heard (sounds like, not sure of sp) fa-na-gule, (I am trying to fanagule this queen size quilt onto my small machine.)

That would be finagle, as in using some sort of trick to get something.

Is the definition for fangle strictly according to Helen or is it a real definition? The definition you'd find in the dictionary would be something new fashioned.
