Friday has come back around once more - and you know what that means! It's time to get our whoop whoop on! Are you ready? Let's get started!
*&*&*&*&*&*
Our church hosted Summer Jam this week (our version of Vacation Bible School) and Lilli attended as usual, which meant that I had the littles for Nana Camp! It was a very fast week, with not much sewing and a whole lot of driving, but we had some fun times...
Every morning started off with breakfast, and I learned a little trick! This is apparently the best way to clean off "donut fingers" - put all of them in your mouth at once!
The kiddos spent some quality time designing shapes with these shape tiles - good practice for designing quilts later!
Of course, there was some relaxing time...
...mixed in with some calisthenics!
And when you're at Nana's, of course you sew!! They had a ball today making their very own "quilts", then cutting them up into smaller pieces. I didn't have the heart to tell them they had the process all backwards.... 😊
We took some walks in the yard, too, and found this really awesome moth waiting for its wings to dry!
This guy was about two and a half inches long - just huge! And a bright, bright orange and gray. So pretty!!
And I did get a little bit of not-quite-sewing in during my off times (few and far between this week) as I cut out the pieces for the Hipster Cat quilt! I am really loving this! Hopefully I'll have time to get it fused onto the backing tomorrow. This guy is really cool!
So - - - can I get a whoop whoop??
*(*)*(*)*(*)*(*)*(*)*
And now it's your turn!
What's making you whoop it up this week?
What's got you doing a little happy dance?
Share! We want to dance right along with you -
And it's always more fun to dance with friends!
The party will stay open until Sunday midnight.
Hope to see you there!
Hugs!

That Moth is so crazy looking, and I love your Hipster cat!
ReplyDeleteYou get a big Whoop Whoop! Love that Hipster Cat quilt you are making. Loved hearing about your week with the 'little ones'! :)
ReplyDeleteOoo, I love that hipster cat and it looks like the "littles" had a grand time.
ReplyDeleteI had a busy week too...we went to Myrtle Beach last weekend for a car show, check on our new house being built and to visit friends. Once we got back home, we had friends traveling from FL to MD stop by for a 2 day visit. Needless to say I didn't get any sewing done but I did play with the layout for a commissioned tshirt quilt. I'm hoping this weekend will be much more productive!
Maybe they were working on disappearing 9 patch quilts (stitch, cut, restitch). Or, maybe their dolls dolly's needed quilts, too. Creative is good!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a nice time with the little ones. You can never get them quilting too early. That hipster cat looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for Whooping it up! --Andrea
ReplyDeleteThat moth was beautiful. Did you wait long enough to see the wings all dried and stretched out? I love the idea of "Nana Camp" so I might just have to borrow it but mine probably would be called "Tu-Na Camp." Thanks for hosting the linky party. Gosh, it looks by the number of links that I am late.
ReplyDeleteI love this cat quilt! And the moth... so funny!
ReplyDeleteWonderful week with the kiddos :-)
ReplyDeleteI finishes quilting my DWR and a QOV for the guild and have finalized plans for both a quilt retreat and an Alaskan cruise! ...but no blog post yet :-0 Soon, soon, I promise.
That's an amazing moth you found with the littles. Beautiful! Hope the wings dried ok.
Wow, that moth! Amazing colors...
ReplyDeleteWhoa - that moth is impressive! Lucky you to have found it!
ReplyDeleteTime with littles is always great time. I recall from Instagram that moth and that is was they who found it. :-) Love your cool cat :-)
ReplyDeleteGotta love Nana Camp....oh and that cat IS adorable and FUN!!!
ReplyDeleteI also had the grandkids this week. Not much sewing here either!! :)
ReplyDeleteLuckily for the moth, cool cat is in fabric!
ReplyDeleteI'm at the grandkids' house, so there's nothing happening in my sewing room. Happily I got two full days of sewing before leaving home and I'll be back tomorrow. I'll get to sew, but I'll miss the snuggles.
Nana camp sounds awesome! Can I come too! :) My nieces have always asked for Grandma camp from my Mom - usually it involves painting! My son and I do 'Mommy' camp which for us means lots of science! I think those 'extra' activities are so important for kids they teach so many things!
ReplyDeleteThat moth matches your orange Starburst HST quilt from a couple months ago!!
ReplyDeleteHooray for Nana Camp (know by my kids as Camp Grandma!!) Always a fun time. DS1 went until he was 16!
ReplyDeleteOne Cool Cat and one Regal Moth.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun the kiddos had! That cat looks cool - and a bit mischievous! Very nice!
