Author, instructor, and lecturer Helen Kelley is, first and foremost, a quiltmaker. For twenty years, this "Erma Bombeck" of the quilting world has parlayed her passion for all things quilt into her enormously popular "Loose Threads" column in "Quilter's Newsletter Magazine."

"Every Quilt Tells a Story" is a collection of Kelley's stories-lighthearted pieces such as "Kelley's Laws for Quilters" and "Seams Like Old Times"-in which she deals with the adventures of everyday life. With her trademark charm and wit, she draws in quilters and non-quilters alike as she discusses the joys of creativity, the challenges of repairing errant stitches, and the pleasures of friendships. The result is sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant, but always thought-provoking.
