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?

Make quilts. Use fabric. Have fun.

Another quilt finished

A few days ago I wrote about a quilt I was working on from a Villa Rosa pattern.  This one is called Granada.  I used a line of fabric called Moondance by Free Spirit.  I think I must have gotten it on sale because I didn’t have an immediate plan to use and I got a ton of it.  I probably have about 30 yards.  The good news is that everything but the back is from that line.  The bad news is that I only used about 4-1/2 yards for the top.  At this rate I’ll have to make seven or eight more quilts from the line!! 

I really like how the quilt turned out.  The colors are soft and pastel, but not baby prints.  After using lots of bright, busy fabrics, this was a nice respite.  It is a pretty large lap size—about 56” x 71” and it has a really nice drape.  I used Quilters Dream Cotton-Select batting and it just gave it a soft, cozy feel even before it was washed.  I frequently use that batting but this quilt seemed particularly soft.  Maybe it was the fabric or the density of quilting but whatever, it worked!  It’s always so nice when that happens.  Here’s a picture of the finished quilt.

There’s no rest now, though.  I got three quilts cut out of the Blitzen fabric today.  I pieced on of the tops and just need to cut and piece the backing, then it will be ready for quilting.  The backing fabric for the two quilts I’m making from Vintage Modern came today so the easy one will also be ready for quilting.  It will be awhile before Swoon is finished but I’m hoping to have it ready for our sewing group’s quilt show in July.  With my son Bryan’s wedding just over two weeks away I’m not sure how much sewing time I’ll have between now and then but I’m always optimistic!
