What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Friday has rolled around once more - and for many of us, it's been a week of cold weather, ice and snow.  I hope all of you have fared well, and have had power and heat.  We were fortunate, getting a lot of snow and ice but retaining our utilities, so it's been a week for sewing!  But today I'm not going to share any sewing, because my husband got me such a fabulous Valentine's Day present that I want you all to see.  So let's get our whoop whoop on and get started ...

Wow!  It's Friday again, already?  Where did the week go?  I hope you had a good one, and have lots to whoop about today.  I'm looking forward to seeing what you have on your plate - so let's get started!  

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

Friday is here and you know what that means - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!!  Monday I made a promise to focus on my to-do list, and that has done wonders for my productivity, so I've got some things to whoop about - I hope you do too!  Let's get started!

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

Friday has rolled around once again, and it's been another wild and turbulent week, hasn't it?  I don't know about you, but I've been indulging in "comfort sewing" as a way to cope with everything that's going on.  I hope, if you have, you will join in today's whoop whoop session so we can all boost each other up a little bit. That's important in times like these!  So let's get started...

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

As I told you, I've been indulging in comfort sewing. That's been a good thing, because ...

It has been quite a week, hasn't it?  Sometimes, though, I find that sewing can help smooth over the rough edges of tumultuous times.  So lots of sewing got done here at my house this week!  And finding the joy in small things is always good, so let's do a little whooping!

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

This week I have been working on the prototype quilts for this year's tutorial series, String Therapy.  On Monday, I started a new quilt, dipping into my blue string bin (which ranneth over), and by the Wednesday morning it was almost finished.  As ...

Hello, and Happy New Year!!!  2020 is finally in the rear view mirror, and may 2021 be much less eventful and a lot more normal, right?  It's time for our first whoop-whoop Friday of the year, so let's start it off with a bang.  I'm sure you've got some secret sewing from the past month that you can share now! So let's get started...

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

Here's my first whoop whoop - January 1st is a big day around our house - forty-two years ago today, my husband and I got married!  I don't know ...

Does it seem like Fridays roll around faster as the end of the year approaches?  Today we are two weeks from Christmas, and three weeks from the end of 2020!  Hard to believe, but true.  And with it being Friday, that means it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on - are you ready?  Let's get started!

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

It's been a busy week around here, but I managed to knock two things off my to-do list, both of which REALLY needed to be finished before Christmas!  First up was this bolster pillow that matches my ...

Friday again - and not only Friday, but three-weeks-until-Christmas Friday!!  Oh my!  I'm sure most of you are working on things you can't share, but I hope you can join in the fun and whoop it up a little bit - so let's get started!

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

I decided this year that I was finally going to use the three jelly rolls of Kate Spain's Solstice that I had been hoarding saving for the perfect quilt - and because it's Christmas fabric, I was compelled to finish it in time for this Christmas!  I wanted a king size ...

Friday has rolled around once again - and I imagine most of us are "rolling around" too after stuffing ourselves on Thanksgiving!  It's been a short week for me, as we've been traveling, but I didn't want to let Friday go by without a chance to see what everyone is working on - - so let's get our whoop whoop on!

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

As I said, it was a short week, but I did 

have a chance to work on my Christmas quilt...

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

It's been a big week around our place, with some finishing going on! With the sale of our old house, I finally got the itch to finish unpacking and organizing my studio, getting rid of some of the piles that had accumulated....

It's been a really long week, hasn't it?  And it's still not over yet.  But - - -  it's Friday, and that means we get to get our whoop whoop on!! So let's get started!

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

Last week a friend of mine asked me to help her surprise her mother-in-law for Christmas.  Her MIL has been living in a nursing home since the beginning of COVID and misses all her interactions outside the home.  My friend decided to do a 12-days-of-Christmas gifting for her, to give her something to look forward to, and asked if I had ...

Well, it's finally Friday - and having just finished working the early voting polls Thursday evening, I can really appreciate Friday!!  It's been a long fifteen days!  That being said, though, we all know what Friday means - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on and wow and I ready!  So let's get started!

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

Here's my first whoop whoop of the week...

Well, here we are at Friday again, and we all know what that means - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!  I haven't had any time to sew this week at all.....

Hard to believe it's already been a week since we last got together to do a little whooping, but here it is, Friday again!  And that means it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on - are you ready? I know I am!! So let's get started!

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

When this week started, I shared my incredibly long to-do list - generated as a result of the very limited amount of sewing time I'll have this month.  You see, I'll be serving as a poll worker starting next Wednesday until almost the end of the ...

It's Friday again!!!  And October - can you believe it?  This year seems to have flown by, and my favorite season has arrived.  That's definitely whoop-worthy!  And since it's Friday, it's time for us to get our whoop-whoop on, so let's get started!

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

This week I worked on Nathanael's annual quilt, and I'm pleased to introduce you to...

Can you believe it's Friday already?  This week has flown by - but it IS Friday and that means it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!  Let's get started!

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

My week really did fly by, and I don't feel like I got a whole lot done -but I did start on Nathanael's annual quilt!  I am using Elizabeth Hartman's Dinosaurs pattern, and it is a lot of fun!  I had some trouble with the first dinosaur block I made, but then I went back and actually read her step-by-step instructions ...
