Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? Baby Steps...

Hi, all!

Here it is, Friday again - and time to get our whoop whoop on!  I imagine most of you, like me, have been holed up in your houses trying to stay warm this week.  It's really bad when you get excited because the temperature is in double digits!!  Regardless of what your weather was like, I hope you've got lots of pretties to share to inspire us all to get creative!

I didn't have any big finishes this week, but I did get a few things done that made me happy…

You may recall the shameful picture of my ironing board from last week…

Well, that was the first thing I fixed this week!  I think this is much better…

Then I got to work on making a cataloguing system for some of the donations we receive, so that we can give credit where credit is due.  I came up with a card that can be attached to a work in progress where everyone can log what they did on that particular quilt…

The front...

…and the back (which will be filed away as
the front when the quilt is given away!)

Then Lilli and I spent one of her snow days sorting through the bags of scraps I had accumulated in the past few months - it's just so much easier to throw those full bags in the corner instead of sorting them into the tubs!  Well, Lilli dumped them all in a big pile on the floor (I wish I had taken a picture of that!) and we sat on the floor and sorted them all by color!  Now it looks like this…

Look at all those pretty full tubs!  Lilli informed me that I needed to make her a quilt with the bright colored scraps - no black and white or neutral for her…..  I see a scrappy quilt in my future!  Good thing, too, because some of those tubs are really full - and the blue tub has completely overflowed into a Vera Bradley shopping bag!

And my favorite little thing of the week?  I finally got to do some piecing for the quilt ministry, instead of just doing the quilting!  Look at this pretty stack I worked on today…

That's just part of the ninety-three hourglass blocks I made today - whew!!  But this was the last of the block-making, and tomorrow I can start putting it all together.  Fun!!

So that's what I'm whooping about this week!  Woohoo!!

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

And now it's your turn!  

What have you been working on this week?

What's made you dance the happy dance?

Share with us - we want to dance along with you!

The party will stay open until Sunday midnight -

So there's plenty of time to join in!

Hope to see you there!

Hugs!
