Here in the boondocks I get a lot time to read when Mr. D (7) & Mr. R (45) are both in school. I purchased (2) copies of this book, one for me and one for the WINNER of this giveaway.

I'll wet your appetite with some project pages!

It has interesting quilt blocks and fun projects. I bought it to see about making t-shirt blocks. My youngest daughter must have a hundred shirts she has saved. Since moving into her own home, she wants me to make a quilt with them. So goes the research to find out what I need to do make one.

Quilt Blocks and Quilts from your favorite fabrics, Recycling fabrics as you learn to quilt, by Kate Perri. @ Kate Perri Designs

PLEASE ENTER THE GIVEAWAY!

1. To enter this giveaway leave me a comment on "what you might want to recycle and who it belongs too". Mine would be " my daughters t-shirts". That simple! That is one comment.

2. Extra comment for all followers - tell me how you follow

3. Extra comment if you share the giveaway with on your blog, tweet, or on Facebook! Just tell me how you did it, so I can see!

    Now you've done it! I'm going to have to pull out all the t-shirts I saved for my niece and make her a quilt for Christmas. Should surprise her as she's been asking about it for two years. I guess it's off to Joanns tomorrow to get the stabilizer and get going with it.

    When my Dad passed away I upcycled/recycled his button down shirts and jeans into quilts for myself, sisters and mom. I've made several more memory quilts since then....
    The next memory quilt... I want to use clothing from 'both sides' of the family to make a quilt for my daughter when she gets married and also one for my son, as a tangible way of joining th families together.

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...
