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?

Too Much Temptation

After all the long hours of quilting before Christmas to finish the quilt for Bryan and Laura, the one for Jake plus these two commission quilts–all big quilts– I thought it would be awhile before I was ready to start sewing again.

Boy was I wrong. It’s REALLY hard for me to pass up any Quilt-Along, Block of the Month, Mystery Quilt or challenge.  There are so many great projects starting this month and I am trying to realistically determine how many I can do.  I also just transferred my EQ designs from one computer to another and rediscovered dozens of quilts I’d like to bring to fruition.  My head is spinning with plans for new quilts.

Here are some of the online projects I’m considering: Scrappy Challenge at Patchwork Times,  Tell It To The Stars also at Patchwork Times, Star Light Star Bright at Happy Quilting, Rainbow Scrap Challenge at So Scrappy and the 2014 BOM at Quilt Doodles Designs, not to mention a couple of new blocks of the month at the LQS.   I’m sure I’ve come across several others but I didn’t bookmark them at the time so I don’t have the links handy.  I’m still working on Bonnie Hunter’s Celtic Solstice mystery, the monthly quilt for my small group plus a few other projects so I shouldn’t even be considering starting something new, but I sure hate to miss out on the fun!

What new quilts or programs have you started this year?

    I’ve started way too many! Or planned to start them. =) One I’m doing is the CQJP2014. This is my third year doing a CQJP (crazy quilt journal project), and this is one I’m truly excited about. CQ4fun I do like the way those two quilts look, and the quilting on them is great.
