Give me you opinion!

Please look!!


I know, I know everyone has already seen this block! I am concerned that maybe I shouldn't submit it to the Modern Quilt Guild Challenge! Is something wrong with the way I designed it or is it ugly, is there not enough color in it, is it bad photography? I really don't know and have no one here to ask. I really want to know! Don't worry about my feelings, just tell it like it is.

On the small chance you like it, which way should it go? Pick photo 1 or 2. Or go take some more photos? Can you tell I am feeling a bit insecure?? Over a quilt block, ha ha....

NEW

Starting something new, I really like "Quilt" by Ellen Luckett Baker from Moda. The colors are so bright and crisp. I think it will go nicely with the Kona "Coal", another favorite of mine. I collected 4 charm packs over the last few months to make a quilt for my bed. I bought them from Craftsy at a real good price. Check it out, you might find something you like! If you are on the mailing list there is a "Deal of the Day" that is delivered to your email! (Fingers crossed) I am hoping to submit it to the county fair coming up!

I love our county fair! So far, I am going to submit a jar of my "Pinapple Jam" (yummy) and Sophie's Baby Quilt. A ribbon would be nice to send with the blanket Germany. Most counties in the U.S.A have fairs and people don't even know about them. Even in cities, like Los Angles, CA, has a fair once a year. Look it up on the internet and go win some ribbons for yourself! It cost nothing to enter! It is great fun for children and adults. Thank you all for just being who you are! Lisa

    I also like Photo #2. I think that it is very beautiful. It is always scary jumping into unknown waters, but it is super exciting too. Good luck! Love the Coal color also.

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...
