I spent two full days at Quilt Market in Houston a couple of weeks ago. What fun! My only regret is that I didn't have enough time to see everyone and everything. Fiskars introduced a new rotary cutter, Martelli has a large rotating cutting mat, Colonial Needle has a new line of needles that make handwork easier, and all the fabric manufacturers have fabulous new lines for spring. These and many more items will appear in my reviews in future issues.

In this issue, I reviewed an affordable cordless iron by Innovage and two books, one by Joan Colvin, a must-have for art quilters and one to show you how beautiful pieced and appliqué look together.

The next issue of Quilters Review Sampler will come out just after Thanksgiving. I wish you and your family lots of love and blessings. Have a wonderful holiday.
