Reader reviews for When Bad Things Happen to Good Quilters: Survival Guide for Fixing & Finishing Any Quilting Project

From the publisher

Jump-start stalled projects with humor, heart, and practical quilting fixes.

Every quilter hits a wall--whether it's a miscut block, a color choice gone wrong, or a project that's been sitting unfinished for months. This encouraging and solution-packed guide helps you get back on track with confidence and creativity.

With a warm, witty tone and a can-do spirit, Joan Ford offers troubleshooting tips, clever workarounds, and four fresh quilt projects to reignite your momentum.

Perfect for beginners and seasoned quilters alike, this book is part pep talk, part how-to manual, and all about helping you finish what you started--beautifully. Whether you're stuck on fabric choices, construction challenges, or just plain overwhelmed, this book will help you turn quilting setbacks into satisfying finishes.

UFO's (Un Finished Objects). We all start our quilting projects with the best intentions, but a difficult technique, mismatched fabrics, or a mistake in the pattern can bring the project to a screeching halt.

Rev up your projects with funny, can-do, practical problem-solving. Popular instructor Joan Ford offers helpful, clear instruction and all the guidance quilters need to kick their projects into gear.

  • Novices are led through the quilting process
  • Experienced quilters learn to resolve complicated setbacks
  • Expert troubleshooting advice is clearly laid out
  • Basic quilting knowledge- required materials, sewing blocks, and caring for your quilt - plus 4 new projects to fire up your creativity
  • 10 colorful photographs and 120 illustrations offer a visual guide

ScrapTherapy(R).Is a nationwide sensation. These wildly popular innovative, step-by-step quilt class and pattern series have grown with the success of Ford's first two books.
