The October issue of American Patchwork & Quilting® magazine signals the arrival of fall, my favorite season.

Over the years, in addition to quilting, I’ve experimented with crossstitching, jewelry beading, knitting, and fabric dyeing. Some of these crafts are becoming popular again. In fact, things I did 40 years ago are trending. Anyone…
