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: Two Quilts Completed

Again this month, if not for OMG I might not have accomplished any quilting. My goal in July was to finish two recently pieced tops. Between travel and house guests I didn’t have a lot of time for sewing but happily I finished both!

I’m in a sewing group that has met monthly for over fifteen years. Everyone in the group has a sizable stash and each month I provide a pattern for a quick and easy quilt that could help turn stash into quilts.

One of our recent projects was Pinata by Villa Rosa Designs. This pattern calls for ten fat quarters plus a background fabric. I made my quilt bigger and used sixteen fat quarters from a Free Spirit bundle. I love how it looks with the lime Bella solid.

The quilting is a simple pantograph called Halo by Urban Elementz.

The bonus was having the perfect backing fabric in my stash. It is an old Windham Anna Griffin fabric that worked great for this quilt.

The second quilt was also a pattern by Villa Rosa called Sierra Snow. Even though I’m trying to use up stash, I bought fabric for this quilt. I had been wanting to make a gray and taupe quilt and thought this would be a nice project for that. I really like how it turned out.

This too was quilted with an easy pantograph.

The backing was from stash and was an almost solid from Moda’s Flight line by Janet Clare.

I don’t want to add UFO’s this year so it helps to finish these. Maybe next month will be more productive.

Be sure to head over to Elm Street Quilts and check out other completed OMG this month.
