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.

By the Numbers: Week of June 7, 2015

This week’s numbers for sewing time are dismal:  3 hours, 42 minutes.  I started the week in Kansas City, ended the week in La Crosse and had work days in between so there was little time left for anything but laundry and errands.

All the sewing time I did get was for one new project, called Sweet and Simple.  It is another quilt from my 40 yard dash fabrics.  It doesn’t look like much yet, but it should be a nice donation quilt when it is finished.

We went to La Crosse to cheer on our daughter as she competed in her first triathlon sprint. Here she is, looking pretty chipper, leaving for the staging area.

Jen-pre race

Up first-a 4/10 of a mile swim.

Jen-swim

Swim cap off and bike helmet on, she’s ready for a 17 mile bike ride.

Jen-bike

Still smiling, it’s time for a 5K run.

Jen-run

And crossing the finish line an hour and 42 minutes later.

Jen-finish

Her goals were to finish and not finish last and she accomplished both!  See “Linda’s” in the background above? That’s where we waited for her to finish the bike part of the race.  Linda’s is a local bakery!!

Our entire time in La Crosse wasn’t fun and games.  We also had a little time to visit the quilt shops.  This was my first time in River Road Quilt Shop and for sure we’ll go back.  One part of the shop has garden items, flags and gifts and the other part is quilt shop.  Jim browsed through the garden section and found something he had been looking for–a rotating flagpole that is supposed to prevent the flag wrapping around the pole.  He hasn’t had a chance to put it up yet but I hope it works.  In the quilt shop I found the new Wisconsin State Shop Hop fabrics and picked up a charm pack and a few fat quarters.

Just to be fair to everyone, I got a couple of fat quarters from Olive Juice Quilts, too!

Total stash added this week:  2-3/4 yards

Total stash used this week:  10 yards (Emma Lee’s Chevron Candy Quilt) + 12 yards (Mint Condition-Blue Skies) = 22 yards.

Net this week:  -19.25 yards

Total for year:  +46.5 yards

At least it went in the right direction this week.

    LOL, that just means you didn’t buy enough! I like the WI shop hop fabrics. Congratulations to your daughter on meeting her goals. I’d never have been able to do what she did, no matter how much time they gave me. =)
