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?

An Old UFO Finished

This quilt started as a sample for a demo I did on mitered borders.

BY Brick-2

This quilt is finished now, but it has a secret!  About a third of the quilting was finished when I ran out of thread and found out that particular blue and yellow variegated thread had been discontinued.  I tried to find a suitable replacement but had no luck so the project was abandoned.  Recently it turned up in a stack of UFO’s and I decided to just GET IT DONE!  I had a spool of Maxi-Lock blue and white variegated so I used it.  I don’t think anyone will know the difference.  Ugh! I should have finished this a long time ago!

BY Brick-1st threadBY Brick-2nd thread

The picture on the left is the original thread and the one on the right is the replacement.  The difference in thread may not be obvious but the difference in my machine quilting skills sure is!  This is a good example of how practice pays off.  LOL!

As I mentioned in the beginning, this was for a mitered border class. Usually I just add straight borders but after seeing this one, I may try for more mitered ones.  I sure like the way it looks, especially when there are three or more borders.  What do you think?  Do you miter your borders or do straight corners?

    I have been known to miter, but I usually do corners. The quilt looks great and finished is always good. Congratulations on another UFO out of the pile.
