I've been looking forward to fall. I love the beautiful colors of the leaves and all the fall flowers. Everywhere I look, I see quilt ideas. I picked large red and yellow apples hanging among dark green leaves. I saw a field of orange pumpkins nestled in gray green foliage. The mums this year are irresistible in so many scrumptious colors. I have more quilt ideas than I have apples.

In this issue of Quilter's Review, I reviewed a template that enables me to cut many sizes and shapes for my quilt pieces. Sophie reviews two books that will give you plenty of inspiration for your next quilting projects. One book helps you make Mariner's Compass quilts the easy way. The second book looks at standard quilts with creative and unexpected settings and colors.

On a more serious note, I've received several emails from QuiltersReview.com this week telling me that my User Profile is out of date or that my account will be suspended.

I've been waiting fo rthe spam to die down before sending this newsletter, Quilter's Review Sampler will be back in your email box on October 24. Enjoy the fall leaves and cooler temperatures.
