Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? Heartstrings....

Hi, all!


Have you had a wonderful week?  Are you ready to get your whoop whoop on? I am!!  Today I'll be driving to Knoxville to pick up my new long arm quilting machine - road trip!!!  That's definitely worth a whoop whoop!!


But I'm also going to share a quilt that I posted quickly about earlier this week, because I got a lot of comments and requests for a tutorial.




The center of this quilt, made up of heart string blocks, was sent to us by Kate of Kate's Arty Bits to use for the quilt ministry.  I blogged about the finished quilt on Wednesday and it was a big hit!  




Look how pretty these are!  And guess what - Kate had already written a tutorial on these that you can see here!  Hop over there and show her some love.....


And here's something else I'm whooping about this week...




Look at those two sweeties!  Emma is now one month old - bright eyed and curious when she's awake - and she loves her big sister!  Lilli loves her right back - she's quite the little mother, always making sure that Emma is covered up when she's sleeping.  And the other day when I was talking to Lilli on the phone, she held the phone up to Emma so she could talk to me too!


*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

And now it's your turn! 

What have you been working on this week?

It doesn't have to be a finish - 
Just something you're proud of!

Link up and share - 
We want to cheer you on!!

The linky party will stay open until Sunday night!
Be there or be square!!

Hugs!

Sarah

  15. Just sold a heart quilt from my shop to a lady in New Zealand. I was happy to make the sale,but the shipping not so much!!

  16. Seriously... too cute. I am loving the strings. I have been thinking a traditional sampler quilt with strings would make a great quilt along. So many possibilities.

  21. Really great picture of your two girls. You should enter it in a photo contest. Or at least frame it and set it out in your home.
