asked by jdog on November 24, 2006 5:58 AM
Another book of quilting humor- from the author of the ever-popular book That Dorky Homemade Look! Funny woman Lisa Boyer is an expert quilter. And she's determined to enjoy making quilts. In fact, she will not-absolutely will not-let the risk of making a mistake, or a less-than- perfect quilt, keep her from relishing the task! In the 34 chapters of this new book, Lisa covers: - The need for new fabric colors--"blurple," "rorange," and "brellow," to name a few; - The virtues of lumps in a quilt; - How to share your bum fat quarter at a fabric exchange; - How crocheting doilies will drive you back to quilting; - How to cope when your quilts lack depth and dimension. Lisa Boyer is a breeze of fresh air. She brings you back to the pleasure of quilting with her confessions and adventures in Stash Envy!

Not being a quilter I had my doubts after receiving this book as a gift, but this delightful book had me hooked after the first paragraph. It is one of those books you never want to end.
Stash Envy is a collection of stories that are light and fun, and just bring a smile to your face. I even found myself laughing out loud. It just makes you feel good.

Absolutely hilarious! I started reading this book aloud at our mini-group meeting and we finally had to give up on sewing because we were laughing so hard that we couldn't see our stitching any more. The chapter "Quilt, Interrupted" needs to be framed and hung up in my sewing room! Highly recommended for anyone who sews.
