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?

June OMG: Done and Done

With Independence Day around the corner these patriotic quilts were perfect for June’s One Monthly Goal. After not completing May’s OMG, I needed the satisfaction of finishing something!!  It was another busy month but I had just enough time to finish the tops and quilt them. Then some hand stitching bindings while watching World Cup soccer was all it took. These were old, old UFO’s–so old in fact that I can no longer find the patterns for them in my sewing room.

I was pretty sure this was a Pat Sloan design, but I couldn’t find the pattern in my stash. A Google search was more effective and it is called Slice of Summer. I wish I could find some buttons that look like watermelon seeds because I’m not going to embroider them so it might just stay this way. After after so long, it really doesn’t matter.

This quilt was a block of the month from our Patchwork Sampler brick and mortar shop. I thought it was from Village Arts but I can’t find anything online to confirm that.

It always intimidates me to machine quilt applique quilts. For this one, I just practiced a few techniques–

a little pebbling in the background,

some circles in the flag stripes, continuous curves, loopy swirls, wavy lines and more!

One thing for sure is I’ve learned much better techniques for quiltmaking since I started these. I wish the fusible had been window paned. Both are quite stiff and I hope they will be flat when hanging. I’m really not sure what I’ll do with them. We don’t have much blank wall space in this house and don’t really decorate in this folk art style. It would be nice to display them for patriotic holidays though, so I’ll try to figure out something.

One Monthly Goal was just the push I needed to complete these old projects. I’m looking forward to finding something for next month’s challenge. Be sure to check out the links at Elm Street Quilts to see what other quilters finished up this month.
