Giveaway

Happy Tuesday, hope I am not to late!

I have worked on my Super Sized Hexagon Log Cabin, got the block all sewn together.




I went to the store and purchased the fabric, got home and guess what? It is the wrong color. So, later this week I will take my creation with me and find the right shade. Two trips to town in one week because I didn't THINK! Look boo hoo!



Lesson learned to match colors on a project, bring it or a color swatch with you to the store.

Here is an inspirational photo of a great pattern I saw this morning in the kitchen. David picked me this tulip the other day and it was opened this morning. Nature can really inspire me.

    I'm a happy follower!
    I don't remember all the designers - just the ones I especially like! I wish I could say I was organised enough to keep a written record along with a swatch of fabric but I just don't!!!

    I usually keep the selvages to help me remember later. Either that or I have stalked a fabric line (Ruby) and will never forget. I usually can remember the manufacturer so I can search online.

    I write them down when I order any fabric and keep a log so I know how much I spend...However when writing blog post I rarely say where the fabric is from! I'll have to remember to do this in future! =D

    I'm a follower. :) I sometimes just happen to remember, especially if it's a favorite line. If I don't remember, that's okay. I don't take notes or anything.

    I remember some, and give credit when I can, but if it is scrappy then mostly likely I won't know. Especially since I have purchased some fabric at thrift stores. Thank you for the great giveaway - I love mysteries. If I win, some scraps of Backyard baby would be great. :)

    P.S. Look at all those buttons on your blog! Proud of you!

Cartwright Seam Ripper Giveaway

Welcome my friends and those who maybe visiting for the first time! Today, I am so excited to introduce you to a true West Virginian Artesian, Greg Cartwright , of Cartwright's Creations . His items are sold in historical shops throughout West Virginia. He is a lover of reclaimed wood of historical nature and creator of works of art! Greg (Cartwright's Creations) & I A note from Greg Dear Readers I have provided two seam rippers to Lisa so she can have one and one to give away. They are both made from beautiful old growth oak which was reclaimed from the original train depot in Weston (Lewis County), West Virginia. Train service was established in Weston around 1880. This wood is representative of a great part of my passion for this venture in woodworking for me – that is finding wood with a story to it. I must admit that my main focus is pens and pencils but it really doesn’t matter what I am making as long as it is from wood (although I have recently added pens...

Update This Giveaway is closed! And the winner is ... #105 gpc March 5, 2014 at 12:13 PM I follow your blog! :) Think Ruffles Blog Hop Welcome to "In The Boon Docks" and Day 1 of the "Think Ruffles Blog Hop"! My name is Lisa and I am so happy you are here today to see my quilt with ruffles! I have to thank Madam Samm @ Sew We Quilt and Amy (Head Cheerleader)@ Sew Incredibly Crazy for arranging this great hop! What is a ruffle? There are lots of different kinds and Madam Samm left it open to interpretation. She showed us how to make some and at the time I was thinking; ruffled bloomers, ruffled dresses, ruffled pillows. Then I saw a quilt in a magazine with what looked like ruffles! I kind of browsed through the issue of Quilt-it today , March/April 2014 issue and left it in my rocking chair and went to work. The second time I read the "Garden Path" pattern by Ann Baxter, (I had already made the quilt), it read "ruching", you don...
