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 One Monthly Goal

It’s September already and time for another One Monthly Goal. Where did summer go? Just for the record, I’m not one of those people who love fall and can’t wait for it to come. In fact, I wish it would never come because it means winter is just around the corner. I like spring with it’s promise of longer, warmer days. And summer, oh summer, my very favorite, when it FINALLY warms up in Wisconsin and I can take the electric blanket off the bed and put away the wool socks (seriously, it’s usually around July 4th when this happens). I love when it’s light outside at 4:30 AM and still light late at night. Those days are over for this year and like it not, fall is coming.

When I finished the patriotic quilts in July, I hung one of them on my porch. I like it so much, I decided to keep a quilt out there but it’s time to take down the patriotic one.  After sorting through some old bins of kits, UFO’s, scraps, etc. I found a kit for a wall hanging called Family Home Friends by Cottage Creek Designs. I’m sure I’ve had this kit for at least 15 years.  It’s time to either make it or get rid of it. It may be a little small for the space outside, but I’m going to try it. If it doesn’t work there, I’ll hang it inside.


That should be easy to accomplish.  With my upcoming retreat I will have more sewing time than usual this month.  I’m going to really push myself and set another goal to finish the Pie In The Sky top (the cover quilt from this book).

This was one of the kits I cut during last month’s cutting frenzy so it is all packaged up and ready to go. It will be a great retreat project and I hope to get quite a bit accomplished on it even though I’m taking about ten other projects! I don’t want to risk running out of things to do before retreat is over.
