recommended by the accidental quilter

The cover quilt, in autumn shades, and colorful fall applique blocks, is what drew me to this book. I would still buy this book for this pattern alone. Plus it's laid out one block at a time, so that you may have your very own block of the month club right in your own home. Sewing an entire quilt at once is too overwhelming for me, but one block at a time is great. The print in this book is easy to read, and the directions are clear. The applique patterns are clear line drawings that will be easy to trace from the book to freezer paper. There are many smaller projects to make that compliment this grand wall hanging.I may try one or two on my way to completing this quilt. I particularly like the sunflower wall hanging and the chickadees in the window wall hanging. There is also a wonderful baking day wall hanging for the kitchen, and a small squirrel wall hanging that is displayed on a branch hanger. Some of these smaller projects would look great in a mountain cabin or in an office tobring a little of the outside season indoors.The color illustrations are very clear. You can even see the quilting stitches on some of the wall hangings. I always have a hard time deciding what to quilt in the blank areas around applique, and Lois Fletcher has some great ideas for simple, yet effective quilt patterns in these spots. For any of you dulcimer players out there,directions for an autumn leaves bell pull is included. If you were to widen this panel a few inches, it would be perfect to place your wall hung dulcimers over to give your instrument a little cushion against the wall. I'm glad I bought this book.

Great use of fall colors

I thoroughly enjoy this book and am currently making three projects for my home and for gifts. The use of color is very appealing, and directions are easy to follow. The Baking Day trio is a favorite. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to get started on some new fall projects for the home.

Packed With Projects

This book is packed with projects! First, you are presented with step-by-step directions for creating a beautiful fall wall hanging block-by-block. Then, as if that were not enough, the author embellishes on the blocks and guides you through constructing additional wall hangings, place mats, pot holders and a table runner. The directions are clear, concise and thorough. The projects are colorful and eye catching. This book will have you searching for fabric as soon as it arrives!

The Quilter's Home Fall

This book is exceptional in my estimation. I have a library full of quilting books and this one is on the top of my list. I am a visual person, so her illustrations and pictures are a plus for me. This book can be used by a beginner or advanced quilter. It is hard to pick a favorite item from her book, but if I was asked I would say the wall hanging with the apple pie.(ummmmmmmmm good!)I will look forward to her next book.Lynnda from Texas

A Must Buy

I have been quilting for 14 years now and I have at least 100 quilting books as well as magazines. I must say that it is by far the nicest quilting book that I have seen since I started quilting. You know that when you purchase a quilting book it is usually for one or two things that catch your eye and you buy the book, sometimes you don't even make the project you bought the book for in the first place, but I guarantee you will want to sew every item in the book such as I do, you will not be disappointed.
