If you venerate your Sewing Scissors, refer to your fabric as "A Collection" and can't survive without your Sewing Time, grab this little gem. Robbi Joy Eklow is a hoot. You will smile, giggle and knowingly nod your way through her sewing stories. In addition to her growing artistic credits, she is a gifted (and funny!) writer. In addition, you will glean some insights to how a non-stop artist organizes her life and her supplies.

I picked this book up in a quilt shop one day, (even though I wasn't planning on buying a book) because the title caught my eye as did the cover and I was thrilled with her writing...she is hilarious and just oh so true when it comes to quilters in general. She was so good in this book that when I saw she had another book here on Amazon "Free Expression: The Art and Confessions of a Contemporary Quilter (Paperback)" I ordered it, because I wanted to hear more from her and see what her work is that she does and teaches that she talks about in her first book and learn as well!

You won't be let down -- she is a "stitch" LOL!!!!

This book is another "must have" for those of us who enjoy thinking about life through the eyes of a quilter. Robbi's easy humor is a sure way to forget about everyday worries and have some smiles and chuckles about the inevitable quirks of life. She has a delightful outlook on the world!

Quilt stories and musings from Quilting Arts Magazine artist Robbi Joy Eklow make for A colorful set of anecdotes inviting readers to turn life experiences into quilts. Her fun stories of life on the road, encounters with other quilters, and shared life experiences makes for a fun read and a perfect gift for that quilting fan who 'has everything'.

This is a great book, short essays, easy to read and funny. A nice break during the day.

I'm part way through and can't put it down. It's hilarious and spot on for Quilters.

I loved this book. I thought it would be boring, a book on quilting. But it was far from boring. Very entertaining. Excellent writer...and it's all true.

I loved this book. She talks to me the procrastinating quilter and lists all the same questions, laughs, problems, and setbacks that I have suffered and she does it with such humor. I don't feel guilty any more thanks to reading this book.

Robbi Joy Eklow is a hoot! As a quilter I could definitely relate to many of her situations and issues ... she can make you see the brighter and funny side of these catastrophes through her own experiences. It made me laugh out loud often; a thoroughly enjoyable read.

This book could have been written about my sister...but it wasn't. I bought it as a gift for her, and, of course, I had to read it before I gave it to her. Joyful and fun.
