October Monthly Quilt Pattern

Timeless Quilt Pattern 2025

My October Quilt Pattern is “Grand Four YOU”
As a grandmother, it’s almost a given that when my four-year-old grandchild requests a new quilt, he will get one. And this was no exception for this grandchild – Grand #4. This quilt boasts a traditional nine-patch block design, with fun triangle corners, all set in a relaxing blue sea of fabric.

The pieced borders are made with simple squares, all combining to give an overall sense of fun. This beautiful quilt is perfect for all skill levels – complete with easy-to-follow instructions, complete with the necessary cutting and piecing guidelines. Fret not, I have included full-color photos of the quilt pattern for reference.

My NEW Password Log Book

Make it Simple and Do it !

Why I Created Our New Password Log Book: Love, Loss, and the Details We Leave Behind. NO ONE wants to think about any of this, but please do ! 

This book wasn’t something I planned to make. It grew out of one of those life moments that leaves you both grateful and a little rattled.

password log book from The Quilt Ladies
Simple and easy log book

When my husband stepped up as executor for a dear friend’s estate, we found ourselves knee deep in paperwork, locked accounts, unanswered security questions, and endless guessing about passwords.

The stress was real, but more than that, there was a quiet sadness that lingered over every, “how would our children want us to do this?” The experience taught us something simple but important: write things down.

Not just the big stuff, like insurance policies and banking info, but the everyday little details too. Websites, usernames, passwords, PIN numbers, phone unlock codes… all the things that seem small, until you need them and don’t have them.

So that’s why this Password Log Book exists. It’s for today—so you don’t waste time resetting passwords or searching for account numbers.
And it’s for tomorrow—offering peace of mind for the people who may someday need to step in for you.

log book for all your passwords
Simple, Easy Password Log Book

It’s organization, yes—but more than that, it’s a quiet kind of love. Love remembers. And this is one small way to make sure everything important is written down, kept safe, and easy to find when it matters most.

My Weight Watchers Taco Soup

My WW Tortilla Soup

Here is Florida I’m in shorts and flip-flops pretty much year around. If I need a sweater it’s not for long and I really like that. But we booked a trip before Husband’s health started and docs all say GO ! And I know I will be eating and trying everything so…
get my favorite go to…need a few pounds off recipe.

My Weight Watchers Tortilla Soup with Chicken

This is based on Weight Watchers 0 Point Tortilla Soup. But, I need meat in mine, I need the protein it keeps me moving a bit longer. 

3 chicken breast,  in a pot with about 6 cups of water.
add 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper. Cook until the chicken is done, remove skin/bones. I do it this way, I can control the fat. 
Or use 4 cups of Can Chicken Bone Broth
if you can find it, just a better flavor
tortilla soup chicken dicedPull chicken out and shred.
cooking onions and celery1 cup Chopped Onions Chopped
2 Garlic Cloves
3 Green Onions Chopped
 3-4 stalks of Celery Chopped
1/2 a Green Pepper
1/3 Cup Fresh Cilantro
Spray pan with spray oil.
Cook  in soup pan, make everything tender 10-15 minutes
 
Pour Chicken broth through a strainer and back into pot.(if homemade)
  Add Shredded Chicken
 Add the rest of the ingredients to the broth
 
2 – 12oz cans of Diced Tomatoes
1/2 cup Salsa, we like hot, use what you like
1 can Whole Corn – Or fresh off the cob, the best
1/2 teaspoon Cumin
1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
1/2 teaspoon basil
pot of Weight Watchers Tortilla SoupSimmer and let cook down.
Serve with Sour Cream (I use Greek yogurt)
And taco chips
 
 Suggestions
  • When you have leftovers after the holidays or party, make this soup, you can add anything to it and it’s wonderful.
  • Try adding fresh spinach, cut up add in about 5 minutes before serving.
  • You can use any meat, shred turkey, shred roast beef or pork, if you use another meat or don’t want to do your own chicken stock, use 4 cups of Chicken Broth
  • This is a make it your own soup.
  • We eat this year round, mostly I think because it’s a great solo-lunch for me.
  • It’s very good without meat, it will be a 0 Point meal with no meat.
