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.

Anti-Procrastination Day: QBB Finishes

I’ve had these quilts for Quilts Beyond Borders for awhile and it was time to finish them and get them sent off.  I quilted two of them a couple of weeks ago so today I quilted the third one and sewed the binding on all three.  These quilts were pieced by others and they come to me with the backing and binding pieced cut so I just have to add batting, quilt and bind.

This one has a fun center panel.

QBB-4

It is quilted with an overall “dwirling” pattern that I learned from the Pajama Quilter DVD.

QBB-4-close

This one is pieced log cabin style with random width logs.  I like this technique and may have to raid my strip bins to make one like it.

QBB-5

This overall quilting design is also from the Pajama Quilter.

QBB-5-close

The third one is a tumbler quilt.  I just love these.  Recently I made one as a shop sample but I sure would like to make one for myself.  It’s a great design for scraps and busy prints.

QBB-6

This one is quilted with my go-to design—overall swirls.

QBB-6-close

The border on this quilt is one of those older Robin Pandolph prints when she was designing for Moda.  These were always such gorgeous lines and it looks really nice on this quilt.  It makes me want to go digging through my stash to see if I have any of it left!

These quilts are now boxed up and ready to drop off at the post office on my way to work on Monday.  It’s nice to get that accomplished.

    They all look good, great quilting designs on each one. My personal favorite is the log cabin-like one. That’s an interesting quilting design on it, too. Every time I visit your blog, I get the itch to buy a longarm. =)
