Happy Quilter Word Search by Pat Yamin

This is a book aimed at those who enjoy both quilting and puzzles as there are 72 word searches in here all with a quilting themeAll are large print so easy on the eyes in low light or for those with less than perfect eyesight, although presumably they are puzzle fans only rather than quilters too!  There is a puzzle on each bright white page and these have themes such as cats and quilting, places to hide fabric, quilting nightmares, sewing machines, templates etc.  The paper is my favorite feature and would be ideal for coloring books or anything you have to write in.  I am a puzzle fan and tend towards magazines but these often have very poor quality paper so drawing those loops around words in here is a treat.  The author says that she conceived the idea waiting around at airports and on the back is says the book is ideal for “anywhere you have to wait”.  I can certainly imagine it on a plane, a cruise or on vacation but if you have waiting rooms in mind then this is not a light book (the lovely paper) and quite large 11” x 8½” format.  It also says it is ideal for group activity and given the size this is an option; wherever you do it and who with this is a novel twist on a favorite puzzle and an ideal gift for the quilter (and puzzler) in your life.
