I love the fabrics in this quilt and they were just random fabrics from my stash. The pattern is #theellaquilt by @kitchentablequilting. I may have to hang this in my family room until it finds a new home.

Today's prompt is pressing matters. I love flat bl Today's prompt is pressing matters. I love flat blocks and these three items are my essentials for achieving that: white fluffy bath towel, cheap Black & Decker iron that steams like crazy, and a Jackson's Woodworks square clapper.

I have a wool pressing mat, but I like the bath towel better. It has enough nap to "grab" the fabrics for a super flat press and it can be tossed in the washer and dryer.

One of my cherished quilts is one I didn't make. T One of my cherished quilts is one I didn't make. This album quilt was made by members of a club I ran for many years when I had a brick and mortar shop. Several members continued to meet in my home monthly until COVID hit. 

It is special to me because it is a reminder of what is important; the friendships, camaraderie, and encouragement that developed within the group.

This super scrappy quilt is one of my favorites fo This super scrappy quilt is one of my favorites for a couple of reasons. First it is proof that any fabric works when you cut it small enough and second I pieced it on a little mini retreat with a couple of friends. The pattern is Rectangle Wrangle by Bonnie Hunter.

I love, love, love scrap quilts, the more fabrics the better, and that's how I justify buying all the fabric I do.

This particular quilt was chosen for today's prompt because tomorrow it will be on its way to Poland along with nine others from my "quilt room" (see day 3 prompt).

Lesson learned. I could write a book on all the th Lesson learned. I could write a book on all the things I've learned through quilting, but one I can't seem to get through my head is that I don't like foundation piecing, paper piecing, or hand piecing.  Slow stitching is a concept I can't wrap my head around.

This String Spiderweb was started at a retreat so I jumped on the bandwagon without thinking it through. I have a bunch of these units made but no interest in continuing. As I was snapping the photo though, I had an idea. Stay tuned.

Are there quilting techniques or methods you don't enjoy?

2013 Week 13 Recap and Stash Report

This week has been kind of a bust as far as sewing is concerned.  For some reason I just could not find much time to get into the sewing room.  I’d like to say that it’s because I’ve been spring cleaning but that’s not the case either.  For one thing Friday is usually a free day that I can spend sewing but Jim was off this week for Good Friday and we went down to Milwaukee.  So here’s a little recap of the week.

Applique Affair-blocks 8 and 9 stitched down.  There are 25 blocks plus 25 border blocks in this quilt so I’m making progress.  It would be nice to finish this before my quilt group’s summer “show.”

Scrappy Stars (from the Bali Breeze pattern)-four more star blocks and six 25 patch blocks completed.  I’m still not sure exactly how big I’m making this but I think a total of 35 blocks so that makes 19 finished.

I cut out and started piecing a quick and easy disappearing 4 patch (or 4 into 9 patch) baby quilt.  All the blocks are sewn and I hope to get them pressed and set together this afternoon.  I started with six fat quarters so it only made 16 blocks.  I’m not a fan of square quilts so I’ll have to figure out something for the top and bottom borders to make it rectangular. 

Bundle of 10 is the only quilt I finished this week.  I like how it turned out using the bright colors.  It was easy to piece so it’s a nice one to make for donation quilts. I think I’ll try to make another one in traditional colors from stash fat quarters and see if I like it as well.

It doesn’t look like next week will be very productive either.  I have to work three days so that SERIOUSLY cuts down on my sewing time!!

The weekly stash report:
Used this week:  9 yards
Used year to date:  99 yards
Purchased this week:  3
Purchased year to date: 21 yards
Net year to date:  78 yards used
