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?

September OMG Project

After much deliberation, I selected Woodlands as my September OMG (One Monthly Goal) quilt.  This is a challenge started by Heidi at Red Letter Quilts to motivate quilters to accomplish one goal per month.  I have a couple commission quilts to make and maybe should have made one or both of them as my goal, but since I consider them “work” they will probably be finished anyway.  I wanted this goal to be something I likely wouldn’t have done without the challenge.

I picked up a kit for this quilt at Quilt Expo in Madison, WI at least three years ago and it could have been four or even five years ago.  When I got the kit, it was a little out of my comfort zone at the time with solid backgrounds and the Marcia Derse fabrics.  Back then, I couldn’t imagine using all the solids that I do now! 

The blocks were pieced in March of 2015 when my daughter Jen and I went to a weekend retreat at Olive Juice Quilts in Onalaska.  After the retreat, I put all the parts back into the project bag where they’ve been until today when I took them out for this photo shoot.

Sept OMG

I got even more excited to finish this when I found the fabric on the left in my stash.  It will be the perfect back.  I’ll have to make the quilt a little smaller for the stripes to run horizontally, but this quilt isn’t for a bed anyway, so it will work fine.  Now I’m excited to start working on it.

So, my goal for September is to get this thing FINISHED!
