Hello, friends! It’s time for the A Quilting Life Favorites for October 2023. If you’ve been reading for a while, you know that this is one of my favorite posts to write each month. I truly love the practice of reflection in order to reset and start again for the upcoming month.

Made in October
So much of October was spent doing little things for Quilt Market. I did finish my A Quilting Life Block of the Month and get it bound early in the month (but I won’t be sharing that until December). I had a lot of fun making the Athena Crossbody bags pictured above right. And my A Quilting Life wall hanging that has been on the list for several years was probably my happiest finish! I made it for our booth at Quilt Market but also for my sewing room. And I smile every time I look at it–my favorite kind of finish!
Five Things I’m Loving Right Now
Here are the things I’m loving right now. Spoiler–the weather again makes the top 5 🙂
- Our gorgeous fall weather! I know this was a top five item last month, but the weather has just continued to get better since then. I love being able to take my morning walks with temperatures in the bright and sunny 60 degree range!
- Getting back to Quilt Market. Yes, lots more will be shared about this soon!
- Just started this book last week, and it’s so good!
- I also just added one of these to the back of my Kindle Paperwhite to make it easier to hold–such a fun win!
- I love using fall scented hand soap, but don’t like those that are too overwhelming. This one is amazing. And I also love this one!

Sherri,
Tell Chelsi and Billy that I Love the Podcast. I count down the days until the next one as soon as one is released. I was listening to the Productivity Podcast that You linked to in Your, “Favorite October Things” 2023. I was listening to it, Does the Woman doing the Podcast have a book? Laura now I can’t remember her last name. Topic of discussion was “Flexibility and Resilience”
Anyway this hit home. I was injured injured in a Work injury in 2002. Shattering and dislocating my right ankle and fibula. Nuts and bolts later, 2012 Bone Cancer..4 surgeries later and More nuts and bolts. I have pretty much a right side of Titanium. I’m relearning to sew, quilt and am writing patterns. I want to work for Moda.
I just Want You to know how inspiring your family is. Saturday Sevens are a storehouse of valuable information and it’s nice to know a woman of your Christian Morals has vetted the information.
My Other Question ⁉️
Is there a To Print the Articles you put on the Saturday Seven Post??
The One on “How to Write a Quilt Pattern” and others I would Love To Print for Reference. All the Cancer was in Right Upper Arm and Shoulder. Both have been replaced and I can still write but it hurts. Being a Research Psychologist before, your topics of discussion are great.
Thank You For Being Awesome 👍😎
