Joining Flickr Group

-

Leona is having a Tula Pink Giveaway @ Leona's Quilting Adventure Hurry on over to sign up!

Rooster on the loose! Over two weeks ago, the rooster escaped from the hen house and ever since has run all over the property avoiding all my efforts to recapture him. He has been chased by dogs and now the chihuahua runs from the rooster. There was an ice storm last night and he seemed to have come out of it unscathed. While I was doing my chicken chores this morning he hung around and eat corn I threw to him. I am hoping maybe he will decide to move back in with his hens soon.

My newest pouch for my swap partner in the Flickr group Modern Scrappy Bits Swap. I have learned how to make needle books, fabric baskets, and pouches. I recommend joining swap groups.

If you are interested in finding a group go to Flickr and join if you are not a member. Then login and go to the search window a drop down box will appear and click on groups search groups. Click the search groups above and type in "fabric swap", "modern fabric swap", or "fabric bee" and a list comes up and you go from there.

Both the blocks below where done for a Flickr Bee called Scrappy? Sew bee it!

36 Patch Block Tutorial is available free from Crazy Mom Quilts. A traditional block that can bring about a modern look just by a change in fabric.

Patchwork} Square In Square Pattern is available at The Sometimes Crafter I love this block and I used some of my Moda Mini Charms (so no cutting those 2.5). It is a free pattern and great for beginners to advanced sewist.

Thanking for stopping by "In The Boon Docks" and I hope you come back soon! Find time to sew this weekend! Lisa

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...
