Good Morning Quilters!
Well, I’m home from vacation……but not very productive yet. As I get older, I find my old body requires more maintenance. This last Thursday, I had fatty tissue removed from my upper eyelids (so my eyeballs can see better). Everything went successfully, but I am puffy and black and blue while I heal. So now that I’ve had cataracts taken off, and the upper eyelids tightened up, I think I’m good to go in the eye department for a while.
But while all of that necessary maintenance is great, I haven’t sewed all week. So today, I will post one of my favorite fall quilts. It is named “Third Weekend in October”. The pattern is by Ruth Powers and looks harder than it really is. I made it while I lived in Williamsburg, VA.
Here is the pattern picture from her website. I am sorry to see it is no longer available.
Here are pictures of my quilt…..first a picture of the top on the floor, taken from the balcony of the cabin above it:

Hopefully, next week I will be able to talk about a current quilt, or at least have pictures of current quilt blocks to show you.
I know you have been more productive than I have been. Please link up below to our Design Wall Monday Linky Party and show us. Thank you all who participate. I enjoy looking at your blog pictures and reading about your projects. You are the best!

happy healing - great fall quilt
That is a stunning Fall Quilt!! Heal fast and take it easy!
My first time commenting. I love this pattern! I was able to snag one a few years ago and once again have run out of time for this fall. But I'm gathering leaf colors and for sure will do it next year.
beaitiful! I've always admired that pattern but not made it...
Love the leaves! What a great quilt!
Judy I hope you’ve been healing and are able to get back to doing what you love. That is one stunning quilt. How unfortunate the pattern is no longer available. I’d love to make it for a fundraiser next fall. I’ve been asked to provide a quilt in the spring and this would have been perfect. Thank you for hosting us all. It does seem we need to make adjustments with real life, and it doesn’t get easier as we get older. I’ve had to do a work around to get some stitching done while volunteering up to 60 hours in a week and taking care of DH 😉

Take care Judy. I only have the one good eye and it's no fun! Good luck
I love how your quilt just fits over the railing at your home!!! Great veins, too!!! I hope the healing is going well.
