Can I get a Whoop-Whoop?? Busy Week!!

Hi, all!


It's Friday!  Are you ready to get your whoop whoop on?


I had a good week - learned how to do machine binding, and finished three quilts for the quilt ministry!


I started with this stack...



And finished off these three!  
You'll see more of them and hear their stories
next Wednesday in The Sweatshop report...

I've still got four to bind, but I've got a special project
I'm working on that took priority.... More on that next week!

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

So that's my whoop whoop for the week!

What have you been working on?

It's time for Show & Tell!!

Remember, it doesn't have to be a finish...

Just something you're happy about!!

You can link up until Saturday at midnight.
Join in the fun!!!

Hugs!

Sarah

  1. Just love sampler quilts - they say 'come cuddle' and 'you are home' . After our Leap Day snow storm (yes, we finally go snow), it will be warming up - said I wasn't going to do it, but I did - made those darn Granny Square blocks - already to sash and border up.

  2. Machine binding is the way to go! When I first learned how to do it, I felt guilty about not doing it by hand. But I've left that far behind - it is just another thing that increases the chance I'll actually get a finish, so it can't be bad!

  5. Great quilts you got done! I don't think I would quilt if not for machine binding and spray baste:) so my question is, are you doing it front to back or back to front?

  9. wow! You are on a ROLL...and your machine is too...the binding roll!

    I did my very first machine binding, just yesterday...they aren't too "pretty" =( But, I want to learn to do it better. I still think that there will be quilts that I will want to hand bind. But, I think there is definitely a place for bindings done by machine.

  15. Whoop whoop! Embrace the machine binding - such a time-saver and so very durable (at least in my house it is).
    Wow - you just rocked it this week, finishing three quilts. Lovely job, by the way.

  22. Hooray for learning new skillz! I've been machine binding a few quilts here and there for the past few months. I miss having a bit of handwork at the end of a project, but I figure my paper hexagon project fills that gap. It feels awfully nice to finish off a quilt so quickly!
