Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? Finally Gifted! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

 

Hi, all!

Well, here it is, Friday again, and we all know what that means - - - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!!  Are you ready?  Let's go!

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

Many of you know that I was out of commission and out of the blogging world for most of the year in 2022.  During that time I undertook a pretty major handwork project.  Hexies seemed like just the ticket for something small and portable to take with me and work on in my chair, so I put together a small kit and started.  

At first, I intended to ...

Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? Ahead of the Game! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

 

Hi, all!

It's finally Friday!  It seems like it's been a super-long week, but we've made it to the end, and we all know what that means - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!  Are you ready?  Let's go!

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

As many of you know already, each year I make a quilt for each of my grandkids - a labor of love that my daughter wishes I would rein in sometimes, because they have LOTS of quilts at their house!  But the grands love it, so I keep doing it.  

And I'm so ...

Make-A-List Monday - Is It Spring Yet? from Confessions of a Fabric Addict


 Hi, all!

Ooh, I have been a bad, bad blogger!  I just realized I haven't done a Monday post since March 13th..... oops!  Time really flies when you're busy/having fun/avoiding doing taxes.  But I took care of one of those problems today - I did my taxes!  So now I can do whatever I want and not feel guilty.  Hooray!

First, though, let's look at that long overdue to-do list from March 13th...

1.  Prep work for H2H 2023.

Done!  We now have guest bloggers for the next eight weeks!  Many thanks to those of you ...

Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? Progress Is Good, Right? from Confessions of a Fabric Addict


Hi, all! 

Friday is here once again (hallelujah, right?) and we all know what that means - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!!  Just as a reminder, it doesn't have to be a finish (good thing!) it can just be whatever is making you do a little happy dance this week!  So let's get started!

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

This week I've started a whole lot of things, but haven't finished much - - well, unless you count sewing the last hexie on this top!


I've still got to add borders and do the quilting, but it ...

I May Have a Scrap Problem - But I've Also Got Hexies! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

 

Hi, all!

I am over the moon happy to be able to say that I have sewn the final hexie onto my hexie top!!!


If my math is right, there are 1428 hexies in this top, each one hand basted and then sewn together by hand.  This made a relatively good dent in my 2.5" square scrap bin, although I've probably got at least this many left!  


Today I went up and dug through my stash, hoping that I would have some of my grandmother's vintage Irish linen left in a color that would work as a ...

Make-A-List Monday - Slowly Making Progress! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

 

Hi, all!

And another week begins!!  Mondays are wonderful, aren't they? A fresh new week to play with!  I'm still getting back in the swing of things, so I didn't get as much done as I'd like, but I did make some progress.  Let's take a look!

1.  Put borders on the string quilt and turn it over to someone else for finishing.

Done!  I think this is going to be a beautiful finished quilt - I'll find the perfect backing for it and bundle it up for someone else to quilt.


2.  Pull/buy ...

I May Have A Scrap Problem... But I'm Working On It! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict


 Hi, all!

Well, I've been absent from the blog, but I haven't been skipping out on my scrappy sewing - I decided that I could definitely do some hand sewing, so I ordered some hexie templates and dragged out my 2.5" square bins.  Many months later, this is what I have...


I haven't actually measured it yet, but it's a good lap size, plenty big enough to snuggle up on the couch with. I've just got to fill in that top right corner and it will be ready for a border and quilting!  Every stitch ...

Make-A-List Monday - Vacation's Over, Back to Work! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

 

Hi, all!

Vacation's over, and we managed to miss the ravages of Hurricane Ian.  We were staying on Tybee Island in Georgia, very close to the waterfront, and out of an abundance of caution, left on Thursday just ahead of the storm.  It was sad to cut our trip short, but we didn't want to drive back through wind and rain, and we have a lovely porch to spend time on at home!

I did get some things done on my to-do list, so let's see how it went...

1.  Keep working on my hexie quilt.

Done ...

Can I Get a Whoop Whoop? I'm Back!! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

 


Hi, all!

It's Friday, and we all know what that means - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!!  After a much longer than anticipated hiatus, I am back - and I am whooping about it!  I've also got a few things I've been working on during the hiatus to share.  I hope you've got something wonderful to whoop about this week, too, so let's get started!!

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

First of all, thanks to all of you who have checked in on me over the past months, or who have sent good thoughts and prayers ...

Days measured in stitches from Stitch and Yarn

My time is currently being marked in stitches and involuntary participation in a strange kind of lottery.

How many pieces can I cut in a day? How many rows can I piece in a day? How many rows can I join in a day? How many passes can I quilt in a day?

It doesn't matter if I'm working on an exhibition quilt, show quilt or gift – it's always the same.

But there's an added novelty this time... Back in lockdown, I'm relying on thread, backing, etc arriving by post to complete quilts, and as ...
