Customer Reviews

Stash Envy was even better than her first book.

I enjoyed this funny book. She pokes fun at quilting that only quilter would understand.

Lisa Boyer has a wonderful sense of humor!

Although Lisa is a very gifted quilter, you wouldn't know it by the way she literally picks apart her quilts. Her chapter on her quilt stash and having the quilt guild over was funny but so true to life. She has a delightful way of pointing out the humor of quilting.

Laughed Out Loud

Lisa Boyer is so funny. If you are a quilter, this is definitely comic relief that you will enjoy. Every chapter is full of kookie ideas from someone who knows how to have fun. It would make a great gift but don't forget to get yourself a copy too. I also recommend her first book, "That Dorky Homemade Look: Quilting Lessons from a Parallel Universe." You will want to read them more than once.

The perfect gift for any avid quilter who 'already has everything'

Author Lisa Boyer is an expert quilter and here teaches the quirky, funny side of quilting in a book packed with quilting humor. From sharing bum fat quarters at a fabric exchange to crocheting doilies as a motivator for returning to quilting, STASH ENVY AND OTHER QUILTING CONFESSIONS AND ADVENTURES will be the perfect gift for any avid quilter who 'already has everything'.

Never Wanted it to End

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.

Loved It!

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.
