Stitch Happens: Tales, Tangents & Tangled Threads from a Quilter’s Life is a heartwarming, hilarious, and relatable collection of real-life quilting stories—written for anyone who’s ever found joy (and chaos) in a pile of fabric.

Whether you’re a seasoned stitcher with a studio full of scraps or a beginner still trying to figure out what a fat quarter actually is, this book wraps you up in the wonderfully imperfect world of quilting.

From the emotional rollercoaster of binding baby quilts, to the mystery of vanishing quilt tops, to group quilt-alongs gone gloriously wrong—every chapter is a celebration of the beauty, humor, and humanity stitched into our craft.

Each story ends with a "Tangled Thread Truth"—a one-liner reminder that in both quilting and life, the mess is part of the masterpiece.

• 🧵 It’s real – These aren’t sanitized stories of perfect seams and pristine sewing rooms. They’re funny, raw, and full of truth—just like your last retreat.

• 🪡 It’s encouraging – You’ll laugh, cry, and feel seen in every chapter.

• 📚 It’s a great gift – Perfect for quilting friends, guild buddies, or your fabric-obsessed mom who needs a good giggle.

• 💌 It’s your story too – If you’ve ever cried over a bobbin or hugged a quilt like it was therapy, you’ll find a piece of yourself in these pages.

So grab a cozy quilt, a cup of something warm, and settle in for 40 bite-sized tales stitched with laughter, love, and lint rollers.

Because when life gets messy?
