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.

Technically, this quilt is on the frame, not the design wall—and it’s not even my quilt.  My neighbor pieced it and wasn’t very happy with the way it turned out.  She knows that I donate a lot of quilts to charity so she gave it to me to quilt, then she’ll sew on the binding and we will give it away.  I’ve had it for a long time and didn’t really know how I was going to quilt it.  I ended up quilting swirls in the center and teardrops in the border.  It was a good decision not to do a pantograph because of the bulky seams where all the triangles meet.  I think the foot may have gotten hung up on some of the seams and the quilting lines would waver.  This way I can plan where the needle will hit these seams and the swirls will be smooth!

I really like the way it’s turning out and think she might have a hard time giving it away once she sees it quilted!

A couple of people asked about the pattern for the jelly roll Road to Oklahoma quilt I posted on Friday.  I didn’t have a pattern, just used a traditional block that could be cut with 2-1/2″ strips.  To make it easy for others to make I wrote the pattern over the weekend and added it to the free pattern page.  You can find it here.  Now you don’t have to do the math!

    Thanks for doing this, Rhonda. I really liked your quilt last week and did find several blogs/sites with this free pattern. Yours lays it out clearly. I have my fabrics all picked out. It’s a really pretty quilt without being too difficult. As usual, I love your work!

    I’ve finished a quilt that the person decided she didn’t like anymore. Like that one, I think the quilt is lovely. Hopefully the person who gets it will love it.
    I’ll look at the Road to Oklahoma now!
