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?

DWM: Quilting Ohio Stars

This isn’t on my design wall, but it’s on the quilting frame and I’m trying to come up with a nice design to quilt in the Ohio Star blocks.  This is a UFO I recently found and it’s big–close to 100” square.  I quilted overall swirly ribbons in the sashing strips and cornerstone blocks.  Only the star blocks remain and I’d like to do a little custom quilting in them.  When I was quilting on my DSM, I would quilt continuous curves on blocks like these but I’m not sure my skills are good enough to do that on the big machine.  I need to come up with something that’s a little more forgiving. Haha!

I spent a little time with the whiteboard and I think I’ll try this (fortunately I can quilt better than I can draw!!).  It looks like it should be pretty easy and will carry out the ribbon theme that’s in the sashing.  I think it will really add a lot if I do continuous curves in the hourglass units so maybe I’ll give it a try.  There’s only one way to get better.

    You found the right attitude, there is only one way to get better…just do it. And I know what it is like to quilt better than you can draw. If my drawing was the measure of my quilting I would be sending my quilts out. 😉

    Looks like a great plan. I love the little swirls in the corners.

    I love the pattern. I just took a lesson on free motion quilting, but wish I had a long-arm. Would probably just kill me!

    I also quilt better than I draw but I think your plan looks great.

    Your Ohio stars look good so far. I like your planned drawing and it really does tie in with the sashing designs. It’s a toss up which I do better — draw or quilt the drawing. I’m not sure there is much difference yet. But I know, practice, practice, practice will make me better.

    This is for the Wacky 9 Patch quilt you made. I cut out fabric of my own choice, sewed it like your tutorial, and it looks great. I haven’t finished sewing into rows yet, but I ended up with 52 blocks, and still have fabric left to make a few more blocks if I decide to make it bigger. I may add a border after I’ve done the rows.
    THANK YOU so very much for inspiring me. As I wait for my house to be shown, I needed some simple sewing to work on and keep my mind on enjoying the blocks as I cut and sew each one. It has been good to not let my mind worry as I wait for the buyer who will love my home and have it for their own.
