Stash Envy by Lisa Boyer

Stash Envy by Lisa Boyer

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!

At the age of eight, Lisa Boyer learned herself to quilt by patching together a salesman's book of bedspread swatches with her toy sewing machine. She only took a few years off while earning her microbiology degree, working as a clinical laboratory scientist, and then becoming a sewing machine technician, pattern designer, quilt teacher, writer, magazine columnist, and mother. Quilting, hurricanes, veggies, shoes, and sewing machine maintenance, to name a few of her various interests, have prompted her to publish essays on a variety of themes. Lisa, dubbed the mad quilt scientist by her friends, blends her passion of quilting with her training in science and psychology to create some oddly peculiar philosophies. That Dorky Handmade Look--Quilting Lessons from a Parallel World, her first book, was published as a tribute to all the gorgeous, but not-quite-perfect, quilts and quilters out there.

In addition to her regular piece in Quiltworks Today Magazine, Lisa's essays have featured in Kauai Magazine and the Orange County Register. Quilting Today, Quiltworks Today, Miniature Quilts, and Kauai have all featured Lisa's quilts. She also appeared on HGTV's Simply Quilts as a guest. Lisa Boyer is a Southern California native.

She now resides in Hawaii with her husband, a clockmaker by trade, and their kid on the island of Kauai.
