Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? It's Been a Busy Week!

 

Hi, all!

Wow, Friday sure got here in a hurry, didn't it?  Busy hands keep that clock spinning, it seems.  But Friday means that it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on, so let's get started!

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

This week I have been working on finishing up quilts for the high school graduates at our church, something our quilt ministry has done for the past several years.  This year we need twenty-two quilts, so there's been a lot of quilting and binding going on!

I quilted this stack of quilts and took them to church on Sunday so another member could pick them up to bind them.

These three came home with me from church on Tuesday night - the top one may look familiar, as Deb didn't have a chance to bind it, so she brought it with her to work on at church.  It didn't quite get finished, and she was going out of town, so I brought it home to finish binding.  The other two needed binding too, and now they are finished!

Wednesday also saw the preparation of quilt backs and tops for finishing.  It helps to have everything ready to go for the next day!

Thursday was quilting day!  My day started off with this view - a beautiful top all ready to go on the frame.  Two more waited in the wings, and I had binding all planned out for all three quilts.  Could I get them finished in one day?

Yes!  I finished these three quilts, both quilting and binding, on Thursday.  You might recognize the center quilt - it's the easy-peasy nine patch quilt top I made last week.  The two quilts on the left really made a dent in my stash of left-over binding - scrappy binding really rocks!

And here's my stack of finished quilts ready to add to the stacks at church!  I still need to wash the ones on the right - that's probably why the stack seems shorter.  But all six will be going to church with me on Sunday!  I have two more that I may get finished on Friday, in which case I'll need a cart to get them all to the quilt room!

And I've got one more exciting (at least to me!) thing I did this week...

I organized a baking cabinet!  With Lilli doing a good bit of baking in my kitchen, we decided that it would be a lot easier if all of my flours, sugars, and various other baking goodies were located in one cabinet, neatly organized and labeled. We added mixing bowls and measuring cups and a bin of cookie cutters (I'm going to find something more decorative to put those in!) and also swapped some drawers around so that the drawer underneath this cabinet holds the baking utensils, too.  

So - - - can I get a whoop whoop?

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

And now it's your turn!

What's got you whooping it up this week?

What's 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!
