*&*&*&*&*&*&*

Well, I'm still recovering from jet lag after our return from Italy, but I did get some sewing time in this week!  I decided it was time to put on my big girl pants and start working on Nathanael's Pokemon quilt.  I'm using the block designs from Kelli Fannin's quilt along from several years ago, and man do those blocks have a lot of little ...

Hi, all!

Can you believe it's already Friday again??  The days pass fast when you're having fun!  In can you missed it, I'm currently in Italy, but I had time to write a post for this Friday and schedule it to go live so you all can share your whoop whoops along with me.  We'll be taking a week off next Friday, so whoop it up now!

Hi, all!

Friday is here once again, and we all know what that means - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!  I hope you are ready - so let's go!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

It's been a busy week in my sewing studio, as I buckled down to start working on the first of three annual quilts for my grandkids.  I'm happy to say I found the perfect quilt for Lilli this year - Crunch Time by Kelli Fannin Quilts.  

So I got started this week making the cookie blocks - they went so quickly!  Kelli really writes excellent patterns ...

Hi, all!

Wow!  Is it Friday again already?  Well, we all know what that means - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!  I'm ready, and I hope you are too - so let's go!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

I think I've mentioned that my husband's cousin sent me some vintage embroidered blocks - I say vintage, but they are really only about 28 years old.  They were made for a baby quilt for her son, but circumstances arose and the blocks got put away without being used.  Her son is all grown up now, but the blocks are ...

Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? The Decks are Clearing.... from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

 

Hi, all!

It's Friday!  I know my grands are definitely ready for the weekend - the first week of school is always a hard adjustment.  But it's been a good week for sewing for me, and maybe for you too - so let's get our whoop whoop on!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

I had a very productive week, which started off with a bang.  My husband had to be at church very early Sunday morning, so I went with him and did a little work in the quilting room.  I took this stack of fabric...


...and turned it into all these beautiful cut ...

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

Summer is drawing to a close - the kids go back to school next week - and soon we'll be hot and heavy into quilting season!  I'm busily trying to finish up some things so I can move into the next season with a clear conscience.  


I started out this week working hard on this t-shirt quilt, a commission for a local elementary school principal.  I got the ...

Can I Get a Whoop Whoop? Getting Ready for A Sew-Along... from Confessions of a Fabric Addict


 Hi, all!

Friday has rolled around once again, and hallelujah - we are finished with this year's 12 Days of Christmas in July!  It was fun while it lasted, but a whole lot of work, so that's one of the things I'm whooping about this week.  But I'm sure you all have things to share too, so let's get started!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

I am grateful for the success of this year's 12 Days of Christmas in July - we had great blog stops, I had a PDF of the quilt to be able to send out when people ...

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

It's been hard getting back into the swing of things this week, following my time in New Orleans, but I did manage to get some things done!  We are working on another big project for the quilt ministry - not as big as the last two, but still substantial - providing bed quilts for a local women's shelter.  They need five full size quilts, thirteen twin size ...

Can I Get a Whoop Whoop? The Last Pictures For H2H 2023.... from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

 

Hi, all!

Well, I only had one more batch of pictures to share, and not much progress on anything of my own to whoop about, so I thought I'd just combine the last H2H pictures with Whoop Whoop Friday!  

Additionally, two things to remember - you can still link up your own blogpost for H2H on last Sunday's blogpost through midnight on Friday night.  And please fill out this very short survey (if you haven't already) to help me be sure I know all the participants and total number of quilts!  It's only three questions, but it ...

Well, it's Friday again - and we all know what that means!  It's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!  Are you ready?  Let's go!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*


We've been at the beach all week, and having a fabulous time with it!  The weather has been gorgeous (except for one day, but I put that to good use) and we've been working hard at resting up!  It's a tough life, but someone's got to do it....


The food's been pretty amazing, too!  We love to eat breakfast out, and this was my ...

Friday has rolled around once again, and we all know what that means - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!! Are you ready?  Let's go!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

I had a really short week this week, because we are leaving today for the beach (and that's REALLY whoop worthy!!) but I did get some quilting done....


I did a binding for a friend - isn't this a pretty quilt?


I also did a little chain quilting - all three of these quilts were able to be backed with a single selvage-to-selvage width of fabric, so I ...

Hi, all!

Another week has come and gone, and it's Friday once again - and you know what that means!  It's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!  Are you ready?  Let's get started!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

I did a good bit of sewing and quilting this week!  It felt really good to get back into the swing of things a bit, although I will admit to a bit of "paralysis of analysis" as I tried to figure out how to quilt a customer quilt.  When I mentioned this to my husband, he said, "Use thread."  How helpful!  But ...

(*)*(*)*(*)*(*)*(*)*(*)

It's been an interesting and diverse week in my neck of the woods this week - it started out with working on all of these machines at church to be sure they were running well.  Most of them just had tension or threading issues that were easily remedied ...

Hi, all!

Wow!  Another week has passed by, and Friday is once more upon us! I hope you all are ready to get your whoop whoop on - let's get started!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

I don't have a whole lot (in pictures) to show for this week, although I'm whooping over several things - we have finished all the quilts needed for our two big quilt projects, and I have finished cleaning out and planting in my little back garden!  I've also got a quilt loaded on the frame and ready to quilt tomorrow, which took me giving procrastination a kick ...

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

With the sun finally making an appearance this week, and warmer temperatures with it, I had to split my time between quilting and yard work.  Let's start with the quilting!


These two quilts bring us within just a few quilts of our big project goal - just a few more to do in the next week or so!  Both of these have been bound, washed and dried and ...

Hi, all!

Well, Friday has rolled around once again, and we all know what that means - - - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!  Let's get started....

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

I have to admit, as I write this, that I'm not feeling much to whoop about right now.  I live in Tennessee, and if you've been following the news, you know that our state legislature has done some pretty reprehensible things today in the wake of the mass shooting two weeks ago in a Nashville private school.  So that's been affecting my mood today pretty badly ...

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

After all the quilting and binding I've done over the past two weeks, something got into me - a major urge to clean up!  I've been doing some deep thinking about my stash while doing all that quilting and binding, and finally just jumped right in with guns blazing!

Wait!  I know that sounds terrible - but I'm ...

Hi, all!

Wow!  The week just flew by, and it's Friday again - and that means it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!!  Let's go...

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

Last week I shared that I finished a baby quilt for my great niece - well, that quilt was delivered and my niece sent me the sweetest picture...


And that's definitely worth a whoop or two!  But you may also remember that I shared that I had quilted four ministry quilts and had a fifth on the frame.  Well, that total changed significantly, and I quilted all eleven quilts that ...
