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?

The Final Finished Quilt of 2013

I am so far behind in editing pictures and am finally getting the last of the 2013 quilts posted.  This was the last quilt I finished in 2013.  When Bryan and Laura got married Bryan told me they didn’t want a wedding quilt so I didn’t make one.  I was always a little regretful that I didn’t go ahead and make them a quilt.  In the end it all worked out well because this fall Windham came out with a great line of fabric called I Dream of Paris so I made them a quilt commemorating our trip to France.  There is a lot of black, brown and red in their apartment so I used those colors for the quilt.  When we were in Paris I picked up a few black fat quarters at Le Rouvray (which has since closed) so I used some of that in the quilt. 

It ended up being a large quilt and this picture only shows about a quarter of it.  The pattern is Wistful by Villa Rosa, but I made it quite a bit larger than the pattern.

The quilting is medium sized meandering in the dark strips and a small swirly/paisley freehand design in the light areas.

This was the perfect fabric for the back.

They really liked the quilt and it was fun to think about that great trip while I was making it!
