Great book
Another great "Simple..." book. Okay, so I'm a Kim Diehl fan girl but this book truly is worth owning. I just wish the book had been released earlier in the season because there are some really cute projects that are only valid for autumn (like the Fallen Leaves wool mug mat, the pumpkin kitchen towel, and the Jack Stack door hanger which is stacked pumpkins. However, the rest of the projects are good for all year long. The cover quilt, Harvest Tapestry (40.5" square) is my favorite and includes a final border of appliqued cotton tongues (reminiscent of wool tongues often used on penny rugs). There are about 20 different projects with some of them being associated with sets like a coordinating table runner and placemats, a woolen needle book and sewing jar (it has a pincushion on top), a bed runner (gorgeous) with coordinating pillow cases, curtains and throw pillows, etc. Some of the projects include wool applique but some projects are strictly pieced. Like some of Kim's other books, she includes recipes, decorating ideas, and helpful hints about making the projects. I find these additions entertaining as well as helpful. I'm glad I bought this book and would buy it again if I had do-overs.

Stunning quilted and appliqued projects, delicious recipes, plus a dash of decorating ideas
You get the whole nine yards in this book. Gorgeous photography displaying lovely project after lovely project, mouth-watering recipes and darling ideas for decorating your home for fall. The instructions are detailed and easy to follow, with links for printing full-sized .pdf patterns. I am going in search of more Kim Diehl books.
Lovely to curl up with a cup of tea and enjoy!
Being a big Kim Diehl fan, it was no surprise to me that I loved this book. Once again, she provides a variety of quilt patterns and projects, as well as delicious recipes. The photos are gorgeous. Warm and homey. Because the projects are displayed in various home settings, it gives decorating ideas. If you enjoy quilting, making special gifts, decorating your home, and cooking, you’ll enjoy this book!
Definitely a Fall Book
I eagerly await Kim Diehl's new books. I love her color choices and clever new designs. Maybe I've seen too much in my life, but this one wasn't my favorite. It seemed like I had seen it before. I still love Kim Diehl, though.
Another great Kim Diehl book
This book is filled with goodies, I love the ball jar pincushion that I made and there are about 6 more things in there that I'm dying to try. this is a terrific book.
