Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? Jolene Is Up And Running!


Hi, all!

Is it Friday?  Yep, it's Friday, believe it or not!  And that means that it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on - are you ready?  Well then, let's get started!
*&*&*&*&*&*&*


I decided this week that it was high time to quit using Jolene as an overpriced quilt rack and see if she weathered the move well, so I gathered my courage, loaded on a little quilt and quilted away!


This was an orphan block baby quilt, made from an orphan block sent a few years ago by Kate Spain in a package of goodies for Hands2Help.  It was one of four, all of which are now baby quilt tops that will be sent to Little Lambs Foundation as part of H2H this year.


I was fortunate enough to have a really pretty and vivid coral that worked well with the KS prints in this block.


And I even found my labels when I was unpacking, so I added a label and this one is ready to go!

So all is well, and I now have no excuse to keep from quilting up all of these....


Apparently I've been busy piecing tops since we moved here!  

So - - - can I get a whoop whoop?

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

And now it's your turn!

What's got you whooping it up this week?


Whats making you do 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!

Sarah

  2. My whoop whoop for today will be watching a Facebook live wedding at 5pm where the party of 10 will be wearing masks I made using your tutorial! I had to get creative. I used some velvet I had for the guys, and lace/batting for the ladies. Where does one find lace at a time like this? The lingerie department at WalMart. Tea-dyed-to-ivory lace undies it is!

  3. You sure can get a whoop! How exciting to be able to schedule a quilt top for frame time each day! It will keep you nice and busy for a while!

  4. That's a cute little quilt. Glad to hear Jolene is doing well. My pile of quilt tops may be a tad larger than yours....guess I better make a plan. ☺

  5. Whoop Whoop! Love the vivid coral, though I'd call it orange, LOL. Good to see Jolene got her groove back. =)

  6. Love that bright quilt! If I know you, you've probably buzzed through that stack of quilt tops and they are all done - or they will be soon! Glad Jolene is happy in her new home!

  16. Yay for Jolene! (And now I have a certain Dolly Parton song in my head.) Your sewing space looks delightful for getting all those tops finished.
