title: That Dorky Homemade Look: Quilting Lessons From a Parallel Universe
author:  Lisa Boyer 
description: <br /> Lisa Boyer became a self-taught quilter at the age of eight, patching together a salesmans book of bedspread swatches with her toy sewing machine. She only took a few years off as she earned her degree in microbiology, worked as a clinical laboratory scientist, then became a sewing-machine mechanic, pattern designer, quilt teacher, writer, magazine columnist, and mother. Her varied interests have led her to write articles on such diverse topics as quilting, hurricanes, vegetables, shoes, and sewing-machine repair, just to name a few. Known to her friends as the mad quilt scientist, Lisa combines her love of quilting with her background in science and psychology, resulting in some strangely unique philosophies. Her first book, That Dorky Homemade LookQuilting Lessons from a Parallel Universe, was written as a tribute to all the lovely, but less-than-perfect, quilts and quilters everywhere. Lisas articles have appeared in Kauai Magazine and the Orange County Register, in addition to her regular column in Quiltworks Today Magazine. Lisas quilts have appeared in Quilting Today, Quiltworks Today, Miniature Quilts and Kauai magazines. She also made a guest appearance on HGTVs Simply Quilts. Lisa Boyer is a native of southern California. She now lives in Hawaii on the island of Kauai with her husband, a clockmaker by avocation, and their son.

  I would like to thank God, my family, and my friends for their
  support, and tolerating my occasional complaining, while writing
  this book. A special thanks to my sister, Piriye, for her role in
  helping this book take shape. Last but not least, I want to show
  gratitude to all of my YouTube subscribers for making this
  opportunity possible in the first place.
