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?

Field Trip to Wisconsin Museum of Quilts and Fiber Arts

This week the Color in Motion exhibit opened at the beautiful Wisconsin Museum of Quilts and Fiber Arts .  The main gallery is inside this barn and provides a wonderful space to exhibit quilts.

WMQFA

The Color in Motion exhibit features the work of Carol Bryer Fallert-Gentry and includes her “30 Quilts for 30 Years.”  If you’ve been to a major quilt show you are probably familiar with Carol’s work.  She had a very unique style and does amazing things with hand-dyed fabric and machine quilting.

Also included in the exhibit is wearable art by Virginia Avery that is part of the museum’s permanent collection.  Two Wisconsin artists, Peter McMasters and Elena Rosenberg, also have pieces in the exhibit.

An opening reception will be held on Sunday, January 25 from noon to 3 PM at the museum.  On March 25, Carol Bryer Fallert-Gentry will be presenting a Gallery Talk at 10 AM and a workshop at 1:30 PM.  For more information, click the museum’s link here.

This exhibit runs through April 12, 2015  If you’re in the Milwaukee area, be sure to stop by and see these beautiful quilts.  The Wisconsin Museum of Quilts and Fiber Arts is located at N50 W5050 Portland Rd., Cedarburg, WI 53012.

    Fallert (she hadn’t hyphenated her name then) spoke and taught one year at Road to California. Her dinner lecture had more slides and faster speaking than anyone I’ve ever heard, but it was fascinating to see her out in her backyard dying her fabrics. Beautiful works, and I’d love to see that exhibit! What a wonderful place to have near you.
