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: Jen’s Walk About Quilt

The quilt my daughter Jen made at our November retreat is finished and ready to deliver to her tomorrow.  There is no snow in the forecast and it is supposed to be unseasonably warm so Jim and I are driving over to see her.  We had the hardest time finding fabric for this quilt.  It is almost impossible to find florals in darker colors and she really had her heart set on navy (a girl after her mama’s heart—I’m obsessed with navy and coral). I checked all the shops in the Fox Valley area, she checked La Crosse and we both looked online to no avail.  What happened to all those great Hoffman florals?  In the end we found this Cotton + Steel rayon. The pattern is Walk About by Grizzly Gulch.

I sure wish RJR had printed this in quilting weight cotton, but they didn’t.  I’ve never used rayon in a quilt before, but it worked okay.  It is a lighter weight fabric, but really not too stretchy.  She was just cutting big squares of it so that helped.  I hope it wears well, but it is for her guest bed so I don’t think she will be washing it frequently.

The fabric is pretty busy so the quilting shows up better on the back than the front. The back is actually navy flannel.

Jen hasn’t done very much quilting but she did a nice job on this.  It will be very pretty on her bed!

Linking up today with Sarah at Confessions of a Fabric Addict for “Can I Get a Whoop Whoop Friday.”  Take a look and see other projects that quilters are cheering about this week!
