There is still time to enter the GIVEAWAY!

I found this beautiful piece of canvas at the local Goodwill the other day! It just begged to be stitched on! Just a few french knots so far but the texture effect will be wonderful! I am working on a project for my mom and the next post for "Stitch On Prints"! Start looking through your stash for a 12" x 12" with medium to large print! I hope you had a great weekend. I sure did, we enjoyed our visit with our daughter and this beautiful little girl.

I hope you all have a beautiful week! To all the readers and followers of "In The Boon Docks", thank you for visiting, reading, and all your wonderful comments! Create and be unique, Lisa

Honor

"Honor never grows old, and honor rejoices the heart of age.
It does so because honor is, finally,
about defending those noble and worthy things that deserve defending,
even it it comes at a high cost.
In our time, that may mean social disapproval,
public scorn, hardship, persecution, or as always, death itself.
The question remains:
What is worth defending?
What is worth dying for?
What is worth living for?"
~ William J. Bennett in a lecture to the US Naval Academy, 11/24/97 ~

I borrowed this quote from Thistle Cove Farm Sandra has some very interesting news to read. Maybe, if we are all more informed things can change. Just a thought!

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...

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...
