Le Challenge - Geometrics

-

Lucy & Nat have me really intrigued over their new blog Le Challenge. The first challenge is Geometrics! I cannot wait to see what everyone has created. But first I suppose I should tell you what I made.

Two potholders that are square and have rectangle piecing. Made these for my own kitchen to brighten it up.

My second entries are Oval and quite fun to make you can find the link for Easter Egg Potholders, the tutorial and pattern HERE about halfway in the post.

I had fun thinking up items that would fit with the challenge and still be what I needed to get completed. I will be back next month ladies! Cannot wait to see what Lucy & Nat come up with next. Thank you for stopping by "In The Boon Docks" and please stop in again. Create and be unique, Lisa

I have a giveaway going with Aurifil Thread and a few other goodies, if you haven't entered please do! Enter Giveaway Here

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...
