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?

Make quilts. Use fabric. Have fun.

Week 36, 2013 Stash Report

It seems like I’ve been sewing quite a bit lately but am not finishing anything.  This week I actually moved in the wrong direction and added fabric but didn’t use any.  I know people count their fabric usage differently but I don’t count mine as being used until the quilt is finished.  This gives me a little motivation to finish things so I can add the yardage to my totals.

On Friday I went to Quilt Expo in Madison.  Usually I’m really tempted at shows by all the new quilts and fabrics.  I didn’t see too much that was new this time.  I thought there would be more bright, modern fabrics but didn’t see much of anything along that line.  I already have a million yards of dark, traditional fabric in my stash so I was able to pass on most of it.

There was one booth, though, that was selling fat quarters for $1.80 each.  THAT was too big a bargain to pass up so I came away with these.

Madison-FQ

Just 20 fat quarters.  I have a plan for the black/brown/tan ones but the others were just for fun.

Next week I’ll report a finish or two.  I loaded a quilt on the machine today and told my husband I hope I haven’t forgotten how to quilt!  Seems like forever since I had something on the frame.

My weekly stats:
Used this week:  0
Used year to date:  270 yards
Purchased this week:  5 yards
Purchased year to date: 98 yards
Net year to date:  172 yards used –
