No, I know we are not there yet. But…<\/p>\n

I always know when some online group is talking about “Third Weekend In October” because sales of the pattern skyrocket and my blog reader statistics show a huge increase. Keepsake Quilting carried this pattern for years, they called it “October Weekend” and it was one of their best sellers. Mine, too. I keep a yearly count of sales and at the end of 2013 had sold 31,394 of them since it came out in 1994!<\/p>\n

\nIt’s a unique scrap quilt pattern and not as hard as you might think. All straight seam sewing with some foundation papers to make it easier, you make it one unit at a time and sew them together into 9 patches, then into rows in the traditional way. The quilt is 84 x 104″. I have never increased it’s price so it is a bargain at $7.00. Click on “Patterns” in the side bar to purchase. There is also a smaller, wall hanging version, same technique but fewer pieces, called “New Leaves Wall Hanging” if the big one scares you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
