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?

I'm not really sure what to say about my quilting I'm not really sure what to say about my quilting origins. No one else in my family was or is a quilter. For some reason my Grandma Ruby had this old quilt top, had it finished, and gave it to me. She didn't make it and I don't know who did, but I still cherish it.

As for me, I walked into a quilt shop in 1988 and the rest is history. My heart still races when I walk into a shop!!

Why I quilt: 1) Fabric. It is so fun to cut littl Why I quilt: 
1) Fabric. It is so fun to cut little pieces of fabric only to sew them back together and see how the colors and texture work together. 

2) To fill a need. I enjoy donating pretty quilts to those who need them. 

3) Community. Early in my marriage we moved every three years or so. I always found new friends in guilds and classes. It's even easier to connect with other quilters with the internet.

There are many other reasons like fun and creativity, but those are my top three.

Sunday Meditation: Isaiah 54:10

Zephaniah 3: 17

Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed, says the Lord who has compassion on you.
Isaiah 54:10 

Earlier posts about love were teachings on how we, as God’s people, are to love one another. I didn’t want the love series to end without writing about God’s great love for all his people.  

Isaiah is such a treasure trove of wisdom, hope, and prophecy. My small church group spent almost TWO YEARS studying this one book of the Bible. The verse, Isaiah 54:10, reminds us that God’s love for us is unfailing. At this point, God had been angry at the people of Israel. They had gone through wars and suffered God’s rebuke.  

Yet God assures them even if the hills and mountains go away, He will still love them. We have a compassionate God who does not turn his back on us.  

God’s love for us is like that of a parent.  

The Lord Your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing. 
Zephaniah 3:17 

This is such a comforting passage. During Zephaniah’s time, the people of Jerusalem had provoked God’s anger.  Yet, again, He assures them that not only he forgives them, but delights in them.  No matter what we do, God will never leave us, and in fact, is a “mighty warrior” fighting for us. He is in our presence to save us from harm. His joy in us is so great that he breaks out in song. Think about how earthly parents stand up for, protect, and love their children. Our heavenly father is doing the same for us.

There are times when he becomes angry with us and God does not promise we will never suffer or face trials. What he does promise is that he will never forsake us and will always show love and compassion. He always forgives. In times of turmoil and stress, it is such a comfort to lean into this love and allow God’s peace to wash over us. 

Women of the Bible Blocks 7 and 8 

Since I am reducing the size of all these blocks to six inches, this week presented a little challenge. Block 7, Rebekah, worked out fine, but Block 8, Ruth, was more difficult (required harder math, haha!). 

Women of the Bible Blocks 7 and 8

I love making little blocks. It is so much fun picking fabrics and making combinations I wouldn’t necessarily choose for a whole quilt. A six-inch block though? Everything works. 

Hope you have a peaceful Sunday. See you back here tomorrow for Motivation Monday.
