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?

Final Finish for May: Poinsettia

This quilt may not actually be my final finish for May.  I still have binding on a couple of donation quilts for the Hands2Help Charity Quilt Challenge that Sarah runs at Confessions of a Fabric Addict but whether I finish them today depends on how tired I am after dinner!

Jim and I took a drive up to Door County last weekend and I worked on this binding in the car.  The picture was taken when we got home and there was still one side left to stitch down.  Now it’s complete and sitting in the BIG pile o’ quilts in the living room.  I’m not sure what I’ll do with this one.  Believe it or not, I don’t have many Christmas quilts so I may hang onto it for awhile. 

Poinsettia

This quilt is called “Poinsettia” and is another one from Kim Brackett’s book Scrap-Basket Beauties.  The only thing I changed from the book is the size.  Many of the quilts in this book are square and I’m just not a big fan of square quilts so I usually add a row or two.  Everyone else in the group made bigger changes so mine was the most boring of the bunch.  If you want to add some punch with very little effort, make the center squares in the poinsettia blocks dark.  It really makes them look more like flowers.

I just cut the next quilt our small group is doing from this book and I have to say I’m really getting tired of making connector corner blocks.  While the quilts all look different, the repetitive construction is getting a little boring.  Fortunately I have PLENTY of other projects to break up the monotony!
