A Quilting Life Favorites October 2024
Most Read Posts
It was fun to see that a couple of my Raspberry Summer Projects for Quilt Market made the top posts list this month! In fact, it’s pretty rare that a post gets more views than the monthly Block of the Month post, so you must have all loved the Half-Square Triangle pillow. Find this month’s most-read post list below:
- Half-Square Triangle Pillow
- A Quilting Life Block of the Month October 2024

Made
Along with the smaller projects I mentioned earlier, I also finished up a really big bucket-list project in October, my king-size quilt using our Bountiful Blooms collection. I actually picked it up from the quilter on November 1st and got the binding finished up the next day. Now it’s on to sewing Christmas gifts and decor items!
5 Things I’m Loving Right Now
- I’ve mentioned both of these books recently on my Saturday Seven posts, but feel like I need to mention them here as they are both so good! If you’re looking for simple, easy-to-implement time management tips and strategies, you’ll love Meditations for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman and Time Warrior by Steve Chandler. Find more of my favorite inspiring reads and favorites in my Amazon storefront.
- Quilt Market in Houston, Texas, and having two of my children there! I always love the excitement of market, the joy of catching up in person with so many friends in the industry, and the availability of some great restaurants and food. (The Grove, The Grotto Downtown, and Biggio’s are always so good. Also, the red snapper fish tacos at Pappasito’s in the Hilton are amazing).
- These ChocXO Dark Chocolate Lemon Creme cups. You’ll thank me later! I looked all over for them in stores earlier this fall and finally just ordered direct on-line. I was so happy with the packaging and shipping in insulated bags with ice! No melted chocolate!
- I just ordered this 2025 Wall Calendar (my favorite place to get desk and office accessories and small gift items, too).
- King of Christmas! Now is also definitely the time to order your Christmas decor before things sell out. I received a wonderful King of Christmas pre-lit tree (see my unboxing video here) and then immediately ordered a small tree and a garland. Shop here with my affiliate link.

The pantograph on your king size quilt looks like Marmalade – it is one of my favorites!
