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?

2016 Week 19 Stash Report

After finishing a few projects in the past few weeks, I had finally reached the point of moving more yards of fabric out than in.  This week, the trend reversed and I’m back up to a net increase.  I have such a hard time resisting fabric and it is such a little reward for hard work.  My daughter is moving so I went to La Crosse this week to help pack.  We “had” to stop by Olive Juice Quilts since it was so close to where we had dinner.  It is one of my favorite shops and I think I showed considerable restraint by only purchasing a few fat quarters.

I also made a larger online purchase but that is for a specific quilt I’ll be gifting later this summer so it will be used and out of here in a relatively short period of time.

I have one finish to report.  If this quilt looks familiar, it’s because I made an almost identical one about a year ago and gave it away right after finishing it.  I really liked it and wanted to make another for myself, but I think this one would be the perfect gift for a family member so I guess it’s not meant to be for me!

The pattern is Stamp by Laundry Basket Quilts and the fabric is Horizon by Kate Spain.  I used a jelly roll for this quilt, but the pattern is a great stashbuster.  The little rectangles are cut 1-1/2” x 2-1/2” so even very small pieces will work.  It’s fun to make when you are looking for an easy project.
 Stamp
This is also an easy one to quilt.  I did simple up and down straight lines in the blocks, a freehand crosshatch in the sashing and outlined the diamond shape in the borders.  No marking for any of it!! 

Stamp close up

Here are my stash numbers for the week:
In: 20 yards
Out: 10 yards
Purchased YTD: 44 yards
Used YTD: 39.5
Net Gain: 4.5 yards

A couple of quilts are ready for binding so I’m hoping to finish those and get my stash numbers moving in the right direction!

    You’re doing good at getting fabric back out. Your numbers will be positive again in no time.

    Still only a small gain, and you know some is going right back out this summer, so all in all, holding even is still a gain. =) I can’t believe how many finishes you’ve had this year! Congratulations!
