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?

July OMG: More Machine Quilting

We will be travelling quite a bit for the next three months so I debated whether or not to set an OMG (One Monthly Goal) for July. It’s great motivation though and I’m on a roll with machine quilting so my goal is to quilt a couple more tops.  It will also be nice to have some bindings to hand stitch in the car.

Both of these quilts are 2018 starts, so they won’t do anything to reduce my UFO count. This year I hope to finish everything I start in an effort to contribute nothing else to those UFO bins. So far I’ve done pretty well but haven’t started very many. There is almost half the year left so we’ll see if that continues.

This quilt is called Pinata by Villa Rosa. I love the lime green background. Luckily, I found some fabric in my stash that will work perfectly for the back.

This one is also by Villa Rosa. These little pattern cards are great for using up stash and the tops usually go together very quickly. This one is called Sierra Snow. I haven’t looked for a back yet, but surely I have a black or taupe print that will work.

So that’s it for this month. Not a big goal, but it would be nice to have two more finishes!

Need a little inspiration? Take a look at some of the other projects linked at One Monthly Goal hosted by Patty at Elm Street Quilts.

    I think I’d better get on this OMG bandwagon. You’re right about finishing what we’ve started. I did really good for awhile, but have slipped— bad!— and now my number of UFO’s is climbing. (Especially since I’ve done so many from Olive’s Flower Garden tower!)
    Congrats on all your finishes … well done!
