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 30 Stash Report

Not much sewing going on here this past week, but a spur of the moment trip “up north” to Minocqua, WI to visit some friends gave me some binding time in the car so I finished a couple of quilts.

The first one was the Rainbow Chevron quilt.  It’s not very big at 39” x 47” but is a good toddler or tummy time quilt.

Rainbow Chevron-1

The second quilt was one of my UFO selections for July and I am thrilled to have it finished.  I’m guessing it is at least ten years old because it was a Strip Club project back when I had the quilt shop.  The pattern is Color Falls by Cozy Quilt Designs.  I added the piano key border from the leftover fabric. 

Color Falls front

This project has been sitting for such a long time because I started quilting it before I had my longarm and didn’t want to finish it on my domestic sewing machine.  In the end, it worked out fine to just load it on the frame and finish it up. Unfortunately, I had started quilting small meandering in the background blocks.  It would have looked so much better with some feathers or fancier quilting, but back then I wasn’t confident enough to try it.  Oh, well.  It’s finished now and looks fine.

Color Falls Border

I just have about 10 more minutes of stitching on the second July UFO and it will also be finished—in July!  So far, I’ve been able to keep up with two UFO finishes a month.  If I don’t add any more, they will all be finished in about 60 years. Haha!

Week 30 Stash Report:
Purchased this week: 3 yards
Purchased YTD: 86 yards
Used since last report: 12.25
Used YTD: 132.62
Net Out of Stash: 46.62

I’m hoping to finish at least two more projects this week so that will make the overall numbers even better!

    Both of your finishes are great looking. I especially love your Rainbow chevron quilt. It will definitely be loved by some little one. What pattern did you used?
    I would love to make one for a new baby in our family, if it goes quickly. lol

    You’re doing great with your usage! Two UFOs every month is a lot better than nothing!
