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: Courtyard Maze

A few months ago, I made a Courtyard Maze quilt using a jelly roll and matching charm pack.  After seeing that post, someone mentioned that this pattern would be a good  for scraps or stash.  I realized it would be a great stash quilt, so I made one.

This will be a donation quilt so I quilted it with a simple pantograph called Jilly.

I also finally finished this charm square chevron quilt.  It is made from the Hello Darling line by Bonnie and Camille—the same fabric as my Granny Squares quilt.  I must have really liked that fabric!

Hello Darling Chevron

It took me a long time to finish this because I started quilting it with a fancy design, decided I didn’t like it, so ripped it out.  It takes SO much long to un-quilt than to quilt something.  I ended up doing freehand wavy lines both horizontally and vertically and like it much better.

    You were talking about ripping out quilting – I’ve figured out that for every 1 minute of quilting, it must require 10 minutes of UNquilting!! UGH!! What an awful job!!
