Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? An Unusual Week.... from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

 

Hi, all!

Well, Friday has finally arrived at the end of what seems like a very long week, and we all know what that means - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!  Are you ready?  Let's go!

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

Tuesday of this week was primary election day in Tennessee, and I was fortunate enough to get to work the polls for the day!  It's a lot of fun, but really hard work, starting at 5:45 am and running through about 8:30 pm by the time things are all packed up and delivered where necessary ...

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

 

Hi, all!

What do you know - - - it's Friday again!  And we all know what that means - it's time for us to all get our whoop whoop on.  Are you ready?  Let's go!

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

It's been a busy week around my studio this week, and my quilt math brain has been stretched to its limit - but I have a finished t-shirt quilt top to show off!


It's been a while since I made one of these, and because I made some adjustments to block sizes as I went to fill in empty spots, I ended up needing ...

Hi, all!

Here we are, another week gone and Friday is here!  And we all know what that means - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!  Are you ready?  Let's go!

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

It's been a busy week of finishes around my studio this week - I had a customer quilting job, plus a wedding gift quilt to make and a t-shirt quilt to begin working on.  Whew!  A lot on my plate, but I'm happy to say things went well.  First thing was taking care of the customer quilt, and although I don't have ...

Hi, all!

Welcome to the (almost) weekend!  It's finally Friday, and we all know what that means - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!  If you're new here, you should know that this doesn't have to be a finish - just something you're happy about.  We all need to celebrate the little things, don't we?  So let's go!

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

It's been a busy week around my place, starting with a re-visit of the bargello process...


As I made my first version, I realized there were some things I could do differently ...

Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? A Short Week, But Productive! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Wow! This has been a short, fast week (we went to Phoenix for my husband's work Sunday to Tuesday) but it's finally Friday, and we all know what that means - - - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!  Are you ready?  Let's go!

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

I wasn't sure how much I would have to share this week, but when I looked back at where things stood last Friday, I saw this picture...


...and realized that I had a finished top to share with you!   I love the way this one turned out....

Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? We May Need A Bigger Boat... from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

 

Hi, all!

Another week has come and gone - a very different week, as the snow has all melted away and we are currently awash with rain!  Poor Bree has been cooped up inside the house for so long, so today when it was warmer, we let her romp outside, even though it was rainy and the yard was flooded.  And here's what we ended up with...


...one extremely wet and excessively muddy (but very happy) Australian Shepherd!  So now the house smells like wet dog, but there are much worse things, right?

And since it's Friday, we know ...

Can I Get a Whoop Whoop? Making Headway! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

 

Hi, all!

Well, I don't know what it looks like in your part of the country, but this is DEFINITELY not normal for us!


This has been the view from my window since Monday morning - about 6 or 7 inches of snow that isn't going away!


And today when I ventured outside, I saw this hanging from the Christmas decorations that are still up on my railing (oh the shame!) and that is DEFINITELY not acceptable!  We don't do icicles!

But all of that aside, this long long week of forced seclusion has come to an end ...

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 ...

Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? New Year, New Project! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

 

Hi, all!

Well, it's been a hot minute, hasn't it?  But the holidays are over and there are no more excuses - and it's Friday, so that means it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!  Let's go!

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

This week I was supposed to be working on cleaning up my studio, and making frankenbatting.  I did make a prodigious amount of frankenbatting....


...which I still need to roll up on the batting bar under my quilt frame.  I believe there's enough to make about fourteen 60" square quilts (my go-to size) so that ...

Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? Christmas Can Finally Come.... from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Well, here it is, folks - the next to the last Friday before Christmas!  But regardless of how close to Christmas it is, it's still a Friday, and we all know what that means - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!   Let's go!

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

As most of you know by now, I make each of my grandchildren a quilt at Christmas, that usually reflects in some way their interests of the past year.  And I am ECSTATIC to say that all three for this year are finished, labeled, washed, and ready to be wrapped ...

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 ...

Hi, all!

Well, it's hard to believe, but today it is finally December!!  The last month of the year has arrived - doesn't it seem like a long time since Thanksgiving?  It was so early this year, but that just means more shopping and crafting days before Christmas, right?

And it's not only the first day of December, it's Friday - and we all know what that means - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!  Let's go!

Hi, all!

Well, here it is, Friday again, and only a little more than five weeks until Christmas!  But we're busy working on Thanksgiving here, and won't go into Christmas mode until next Friday.  But since it is Friday, that means that it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!  Let's go!

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

As you know if you've been here for the past few weeks, I've been working on a fall quilt for my bedroom, and last week I was excited to announce that I had finished the top.  Well, I'm happy ...

As I said, Thursday I woke up determined to get my fall quilt top assembled in time for this post.  Wednesday afternoon I had laid out all of the blocks to get them in the right spots....


I am really thankful for my large studio that has plenty of room to lay ...

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

I've got a lot of little things I'm whooping about this week, and since we have to start somewhere, I'll start with the one that was the least fun, but the most gratifying!  These two very messy spots in my studio....

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

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 ...

It's 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!

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

I have to admit that it's been a weird week around here - Monday and Tuesday had some unusual things scheduled that interfered with quilting time, and then Tuesday night I had some viciously spicy kung pao chicken for supper that had my stomach tied in knots all day Wednesday.  And then Thursday, my grandkids were off from school (teacher workday) so I took advantage of it to spend some ...

Last week, I had made progress on Nathanael's annual quilt - and this week, I can show you the finished top!


This is one big quilt - about 75x95 - so it will make a nice bed quilt in his green bedroom.   I think he's going to love it!

And if you've now got the itch to make one of your own, hop over to Kelli Fannin Quilts - you ...
