Wow! This week has absolutely flown by, and guess what? It's Friday! And we all know what that means - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on! Are you ready? Me too! Let's go!
*&*&*&*&*&*&*
This week has been full of a lot of secret sewing, as I went from this...
...to a quilt top I can't show you for a few more days! It was a marathon of piecing, but so much fun - you guys are going to love this one!
I'm also really whooping about this one - I got a new light! It's been so gray around here this week, and I was having trouble seeing much past 3 pm to sew! So Amazon to the rescue, and I found this desktop light that illuminates everything wonderfully! It has five intensities AND five different light temperatures so it's easy to get whatever light works best at the time. And it clamps to my table so if I don't need it in the summer, I can put it away. Hooray!
And after I finished the secret project, I cut out the next project - a quilt for a new great niece! I can't wait to get started on this one!
And in a random moment on Instagram, I spotted this wonderful version of one of Kelli Fannin's quilt designs and knew immediately it would be what I make for Nathanael's quilt for next Christmas! PS he corroborated my choice by going nuts when he saw the picture on my phone, reminding me that he LOVES penguins!
I have been wanting a light box too. Looking forward to seeing your new quilt top.
ReplyDeleteYou've had a productive week, Sarah! Sounds like that penguin quilt is the perfect choice for Nathanael this year :)
ReplyDeleteThat Bree is a hoot! But sheesh, glad you had extra fabric to redo those strips. Love the penguins!
ReplyDeleteThat light looks very handy. I need to find one that shines down at the front of my needle. (Okay, think I have one, but it is stored away. Ha ha)
ReplyDeleteThat Bree is a little stinker. I saw that penquin quilt someplace before, maybe IG? But good to know that Nathanael likes it.
ReplyDeleteThe penquin quilt is gorgeous! I'm glad your grandson still likes them! The Bree story is very fun--as long as you had more material to cut the additional sashes! lol
ReplyDeleteSounds you have a great productive week,Sarah. The Pinguin quilt will be a winner, so cute
ReplyDeleteThe penguin quilt is sooo cute! And so is Bree!

I'm glad my puppy is short. He does jump up against the side of my sewing chair on occasion.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the laughter! Reading about the antics of your dog and THEN reading it ended up with spraying whipped cream? I got an immediate vision -- don't be surprised if she tried that again just to get the treat! Love your blog! Deb
ReplyDeleteBeware of bored pets lol! Love the penguin quilt, and what a good idea to have a plan in place early!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, I'm glad that you were able to make more strips and that Bree is still breathing lol
ReplyDeleteYour heart project looks like a real winner. And, oh those penguins. If you are a penguin fan try reading How the Penguins Saved Veronica. Interesting story that hides a ton of information about penguins. Oh that cute dog. She definitely is an attention seeker. Maybe she shouldn't be grabbing fabric off tables!
ReplyDeleteGreat lamp, and I was so tempted, but I don't really need it. darn Love the hearts and penguins, both. This is Susan, unable to sugn in 😛
ReplyDeleteThat penguin quilt is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link to the lamp. I've been looking for something like that for ages. It's tough not being able to cut fabric as the sun goes down. I hope you get a little something for the link. Great pictures, by the way!
