Does the new Hustle and Bustle fabric by @official_basicgrey on a Grunge Hits the Spot background put you in the holiday spirit?
This is my most recent finish. I stitched the last This is my most recent finish. I stitched the last bit of binding just about a half hour ago! 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?

Make quilts. Use fabric. Have fun.

2016 Week 20 Stash Report

This quilt should be called “A Million Little Pieces.”  Actually, they aren’t all that little, but it seems like there are a million of them.  The piecing isn’t complicated, there are just many variations on a similar theme.  This is only part of the units for four blocks.  Lots of putzy cutting.  You have to be very careful sewing the units together or the design won’t work.   It is a gift quilt for later in the summer so I don’t want to reveal what it is, but I’m not slacking….still getting lots done! 

Million little pieces

As far as stash reduction goes, I had to buy some fabric for backs but now I can get those tops ready for the quilting queue which will mean more fabric out!! 

 

Now the numbers:
Purchased this week: 9 yards
Purchased Ytd: 53 yards
Used this week: 25 yards
Used YTD: 64.5 yards
Net Out of Stash: 11.5 yards

    Being in the black is fantastic! Sometimes you have to buy fabric to use more fabric.

    Even with some in you are still well in the black, you’ll be doing really well once you get those quilts all done. Have a great Sunday.

    I can’t believe you’ve managed to purchase only 9 yards of fabric this week! But maybe you weren’t in the right place at the right time. =) Nice to be in the black, anyway. I like the colors in your sneak peek.
