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?

Summer Sewing Part 4: Tula Pink City Sampler

Again this year, Angie from Gnome Angel hosted the Instagram challenge #100days100blocks2017 featuring the 100 blocks in Tula Pink City Sampler book. Every day I eagerly checked Instagram to see all the beautiful blocks. I don’t know how many people participated, but there were dozens of blocks each day.  What eye candy! Surprisingly, I kept up all 100 days. If you want to see each block up close, check my Instagram feed (@patchworksampler).

100 blocks2

The room is too small for me to get back far enough to get all 100 blocks in the picture.  What you can’t see is the bare space at the bottom where Block 56 should be. When I put all the blocks on the wall, there were only 99. I scrolled through my Instagram feed to see which one was missing, then made a new block.  I know that was faster than digging through every project I worked on this summer to find where it might be hiding.

Finishing this quilt was my One Monthly Goal for August. That goal may have been too ambitious as I am still piecing the top and waiting for the backing to arrive. With only 1 day left in August, I may miss the goal.

Want to join the fun?

Angie will be hosting #100days100blocks2018 starting Friday, March 30, 2018. Details may be found here. It is highly motivating to see the blocks every day. They are pretty easy to make and I usually sew 5-10 at a time to make it more manageable. If you want incentive to join in, just search the hashtag #100days100blocks2017 to see the many different themes from this year’s challenge.

Can’t wait until 2018? Join me and many others as we start Jen Kingwell’s Gypsy Wife Sew Along also hosted by Angie at Gnome Angel.
