May 2026
USING A QUILTER'S CLAPPER FOR PRESSING
Happy May 2026. I love the "May Day is Lei Day" custom in Hawaii. Everyone is decked out in beautiful flower circlets and the aroma is heavenly. Here in our neck of the woods, May First can be a flower celebration of sorts with people wearing flowers and dancing around a May pole.
This month we have Cinco de Mayo, Mother's Day, Armed Forces Day, and Memorial Day. Some other fun days I may celebrate: May 11 Eat What You Want Day, May 14 Dance Like a Chicken Day, and May 26 Blueberry Cheesecake Day. Lots to look forward to, especially, that cheesecake. Actually, it might be fun to dance like a chicken while eating blueberry cheesecake, that would encompass all three days at once.
This month's tidbit deals with the use of a quilter's clapper for pressing fabric, quilt blocks, and seams. One of the great tools I purchased recently is a Riley Blake block pressing clapper that measures 8 x 10. It is big, has a nice heft, and really has made a positive difference in the flatness of the seams on my projects.
