Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? Fun Stuff To Welcome The New Year!

 

Hi, all!

It's hard to believe, but another week has come and gone, and it's finally Friday!  And we all know what that means - - - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on.  Let's go!

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

It's been a busy week of sewing at my house, and I have a few things to show for it!  First of all, I managed to finish this pretty sampler quilt - my first finished UFO of the year!


Technically, it wasn't my UFO - it was given to me by a friend who was getting rid of all her quilting stuff.  But it's been sitting at my house for a couple of years now, so I guess it's time to own it!  

Once that quilt was finished, it was time to get to work on the prototype quilts for this year's tutorial series.  Always an exciting time, as I try to come up with designs to fit a theme.  This year, I asked Lilli if she had any suggestions.  She said, "You've sure got a butt-load of fat quarters, Nana - maybe you should make fat quarter quilts!"  So I took her suggestion and started thinking about quilts that use up fat quarters.  And I finished the first top this week.....



...and started on a second one!   


I had some troubles with this block at first (learned a few lessons to pass along in the tutorial) but I think it's going to make a nice quilt in the end.  

I've still got four more to come up with, but I think this is a good start!

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!

  1. That is a really cool block, Sarah. Because its made from all grunge colors, it looks rugged but exquisite. Looking forward to seeing more of those blocks

  3. Whoop! Whoop! Both your projects are great! But I like the way you used the same general color family for the 16 patch. Both projects are really pretty.

  4. Informative and helpful Post. Thanks for sharing. I want to share information about the Mobile software development company. Selecting the right mobile software development company can be a game-changer for your project. It involves meticulous consideration of factors such as expertise, portfolio, client reviews, and cost. A company with a proven track record and a diverse portfolio is more likely to deliver successful outcomes.
