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?

2013 Quilts, charms, Stash Report · May 5, 2013

Week 18, 2013 Recap and Stash Report

This morning I finished hand sewing the binding on the last of my charm quilts on the drive to and from church.  This one is Falling Charms from a Missouri Star Quilt Co. tutorial (here).

Falling Charms-finished

There is a block turned on the lower right-ugh!  I’m keeping this quilt so it’s not a big deal!

Here is a close-up of the quilting—and the border.  I just love the way the border makes this quilt.  The quilting is a pantograph called Plumage by Willow Leaf Studios.

Falling Charms-close

I missed last week’s stash report so this is a two week recap.  I finished five projects:

Baby Geniuses Grow Up-La France:  3 yards
Jumping Jacks-Marmalade: 3.5 yards
Jumping Jacks-Spring Song: 3.5 yards
Falling Charms-Christmas charms: 7 yards
Grandma’s quilt: 5 yards (back and binding only)

After having a few weeks with no fabric purchases I fell off the wagon this week.  Some of it was jelly rolls that I need for a pattern I’m working on—I can ALWAYS justify purchasing fabric!

The weekly stash report:
Used this week:  22 yards
Used year to date:  147 yards
Purchased this week:  14
Purchased year to date: 35yards
Net year to date:  112 yards used

It’s still going down!  Check out the links at Patchwork Times so see how others are doing on stash reduction.

    Rhonda you had a fabulous last two weeks. The turning of the block in the corner is not noticeable…consider it something of an unexpected surprise. It makes it FUN! The way I see it as long as you are using what you are buying…go for it! Sandi

    I really like the falling charms quilt, but I still have no clue as to how to lay out the blocks, I know it is a simple lay out, but I am very new to quilting, and I guess I need a “dummy” version in black and white. I have watched the video several times, and still I cannot get it correct. Please any suggestions on this beautiful pattern lay out or any black and white photos that I can use as a pattern.

      I have a layout diagram in EQ. You are no-reply so I don’t have an address to send it. You may email me at patchworksampler@gmail.com and I will forward what I have.
