Does the new Hustle and Bustle fabric by @official_basicgrey on a Grunge Hits the Spot background put you in the holiday spirit?

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?

A Little Patriotic Project

I received a charm pack of Moda’s Red, White and Free fabric as a gift and had been thinking about how to use it when I came across a tutorial using charms to make chevrons.  I had used this particular technique in the past but shied away from it because all the outside edges of the half-square triangles end up on the bias.  I’m happy to report that it worked great for this little wallhanging and didn’t take any time at all to finish it.

The tutorial I used was Herringbone Pillow Cover by Lauren Terry for Moda Bake Shop.  It was fine for a small project but I think you might have to be more careful with a larger quilt so the outside edges don’t stretch.  I have some more charm packs that would make nice chevron quilts so I’ll probably try it for a lap size.

There are some patriotic charms left over and I’m working on another project that is not as quick and easy as this one.  Hoping to find some time to finish it before the 4th!

    I went to see why you had bias edges, and I do see that if you did your HST with that method, you would have – unless you cut bias squares initially, but store-bought charm squares don’t come that way. I never do mine this way. I don’t like bias edges on the outside. Even so, this is a great, and very timely, seasonal wall hanging. I love the way you mixed the colors. Thanks for sharing the photo.
