Every Quilt Tells a Story

this is the kind of reading i enjoy haveing with at Doctors or while waiting for service as it easy to read but yet doesn't make you finish in a day!

Every Quilt Tells a StoryEvery Quilt Tells a Story by Helen Kelley is an uplifting and humorous little book that should be in every quilter's library. With clear writing and down-home humor, Ms. Kelley starts out with a brief history of quilting in the U.S. during the 20th century and her journey through it. She continues with 65 "paper conversations," as she calls her essays, in which she connects life to quilting and quilting to life. Ms. Kelley's "conversations" offer inspiration to us all in our quest to create beauty and connect with the past, while living in the 21st century. As she says in her essay titled, "That's the Way the Cookie Crumbles": "Even though we are quilters, sometimes our lives need a rosy glow cast about us." Helen Kelley's writings provide that glow.

This book is a must for any quilter. It is a comedic approch to the craft, sure to put a smile on your face.

What a wonderful collection...a joy to read for any quilter who knows what it's like to trip over the ironing cords and cut holes in fabric where they don't belong. :0) Highly recommend!
