Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021!!


Hi, all!

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 quite how it got to be 42 years - I'm certainly not old enough for that - but it is what it is.  I can't think of anything I'd rather have done for the past 42 years, so I'm looking forward to the next 42 also!  And I'm truly grateful that my husband bears with my hobbies/obsessions and because of that, I discovered quilting and blogging.  

So yesterday when I went up to my studio to figure out what I would be blogging about today, I found a cute quilt top that was donated to the quilt ministry.  Given its theme, it seemed an appropriate top to quilt and bind for the last finish of 2020!


2020 was a rather prickly year, but this sweet little quilt is soft and cuddly!


A pretty little piece of peach colored tone-on-tone was just perfect for the back.


And a bit of green from my stash made binding to finish it off!  I do love a pretty binding shot, don't you?


I don't recall who donated this adorable hedgehog, but I'm honored to have been able to finish it up.  This last quilt of 2020/first quilt of 2021 will find a good home providing comfort to a child sometime in the next few months, and I can't think of a better way to start a new year!

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!

Sarah

  11. Congratulations on your 42nd anniversary. I keep telling myself I'm not old enough to have a 40 year old daughter! That hedgehog is darling. How big was the quilt approximately? Some one is going to love that little guy.

  13. Happy New Year and Happy Anniversary. Glad your connectivity issues have been resolved. Sad, though, that a motive for the destruction isn't known and may never be. Although we've all been through a lot in 2020, Nashville seems to have more than their share.
