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?

Friday Finish: Cha Cha Cha Runner Plus French Strawberry Cake Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

It isn’t big, but I finally finished something…the Cha Cha Cha Runner. I pieced this at the April retreat and misplaced the top. I discovered it a couple of weeks ago and got it quilted and bound.

This is another great pattern from Terry Atkinson at Atkinson Designs. You can purchase the paper pattern here or the digital download here. The pattern calls for charm squares or 2-1/2″ strips so it is great for using up scraps.

The backing is the same fabric as the border. It is quilted in freehand overall swirls.

This fabric line, Sunday Stroll by Bonnie and Camille for Moda, has a strawberry print. What better way to celebrate the finish than with French Strawberry Cake?

This is a dense, moist, cake that is super simple to make. It is my favorite summer dessert. Scroll down for the recipe and try it for yourself!

French Strawberry Cake

Fresh strawberries make this simple cake the perfect summer (or anytime!) dessert.
Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 10 mins
Cook Time 45 mins
Course Dessert
Cuisine French
Servings 10

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounces butter, softened
  • 1¼ cup sugar, divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup plain, non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 16 ounces fresh strawberries, sliced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a nine-inch round cake pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Combine butter and one cup of sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat with electric mixer for five minutes or until mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add ⅓ of the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix well. Add ½ the sour cream and mix. Again, mix in ⅓ of the flour mixture, followed by the rest of the sour cream. Mix in the remaining flour mixture.
  • Fold in the strawberries. Spread batter into prepared pan.
  • Sprinkle remaining sugar on top of batter.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Let cake cool completely. Serve straight from the pan with a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

You may substitute sour cream (light or regular) for the Greek yogurt.
I use turbinado sugar to sprinkle on the top before baking. It is a coarser sugar and adds just a little crunch.
