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.

By the Numbers: Week of 5/31/15

It must be my accounting background but I love numbers and have been keeping spreadsheets of my works in progress for several years.  Recently I found an app called MPS TimeLog Pro and now I can not only track how much time I spend sewing but also break it down by project or activity.  For me it is interesting to see how much time it actually takes to make a quilt start to finish.  It also motivates me to stay on task.

Both this week and next will not have many sewing hours because I’m in Kansas City visiting my family.  I almost always bring projects with me but this time I only brought one small quilt to bind.  We have lots of activities planned so for once I was realistic about how much time I would have to sew while I’m here.

Last week I worked on three projects for a total of 10 hours and 43 minutes.  45 minutes were spent piecing the Fancy Fox blocks.  I finished piecing these blocks and now someone else will piece the top.  There are 20 blocks and it only took 3 hours and 35 minutes to cut and piece them (most of that time was last week).  I did a little quilting my Mint Condition top and the rest of my time this week was spent on a baby quilt called Chevron Candy.  I hope to finish the binding today and post pictures of it tomorrow.

Unfortunately, I didn’t finish anything so there were no subtractions for my stash report.  There were a few additions however, as I continue to freshen up my stash and add some modern prints.

I’ve always loved background fabrics with text and they are very popular now so I bought a couple of yards of this print:

sunprint

It is an Andover fabric in the Sun Print line by Alison Glass.

I can never have enough background fabrics so I ordered this fat quarter pack of grays.gray FQ

This collection also had some text prints so that was a fun bonus!

I also added this group of fat quarters.  They are from the Homebody collection by Kimberly Kight for Cotton + Steel. All of the Cotton + Steel fabrics work well together so I’ve really been having fun collecting them.

Homebody FQ

 

The total stash added this week was was 11-3/4 yards and nothing out.  The good news is that I should finish at least two projects next week and don’t plan to add anything (even though Missouri Star Quilt Company is only 45 minutes away from my mom’s house and I can hear it calling me!!).

    If you are only 45 min. away from Hamilton, MO, do make the trip to MSQC ! it is an experience if you haven’t been there, but even if you have, it’s interesting to see how one can turn the whole city around. I was there last fall, and altho with so many buildings, it’s hard to pick out fabric for a whole quilt at one time, it’s a fun stash building and precut heaven !! Worth the drive…

    I like your additions, they will look great in a quilt! I have some of the text print that my friend talked me into sharing with her and I really liked it when used. I am afraid I would have to visit MSQC if I were close, because I have never been there. Looking forward to your pictures tomorrow.

    Some very nice additions to your fabric stash. I think you definitely need to stop by Missouri Star if you are that close. It’s always a fun trip, even though it makes for a very long day since I am in St. Louis area.

    I love the fabrics you added. If I were that close to Missouri Star, I don’t think I could resist the call. =)
