Made in October
My Posies & Pears Mini might be my only true finish for November. I was able to get some bindings done and also work on block of the month projects and other works in progress. But the Mini was a start to finish project. The PDF is available now, and paper patterns are coming soon! I’m about to start sewing with an upcoming collection we will be sharing in December…so looking forward to this!

What I’m Loving Right Now
- Disneyland! It had been such a long time since I visited the park, and I’m all caught up with how to navigate the new app and even the new rides. We had a fabulous day, and I was able to ride just about every major attraction including the newest one!
- Fall weather! I can’t tell you how amazing it is to finally have cool nights and be out of the one hundred and teens during the day!
- This mattress topper! We ordered one for our guest bedroom and liked it so much that we got one for our bed. It is truly amazing!
- Also, this book stand/pattern holder that I learned about from retreat attendees (I was gifted one)! It’s a game changer!
- The Q…almost finished and then I’ll start something new. But so glad I started this delightful book!


2027 Maui Retreats
I am so excited to share that I will be teaching at two retreats next fall in Maui! I’ll be there with the lovely Vanessa Goertzen and Camille Roskelley, and these events are looking to be incredible! Registration opens on November 21st here. I’ll be teaching my Endless Summer quilt and am so much looking forward to this!


Thanks so very much for stopping by for today’s October 2026 Favorites post. You can find more of my monthly favorites posts here.
