May Fresh Sewing Day

-

Hi, Welcome to "In The Boon Docks! This is my recap of the month of May! this month I did a lot of little things. Next month, I really need to finish a tutorial. I never knew just how hard one could be to write. I also need to finish "The Lorax" for my little guy.

Back to May! I love swaps and the deadline for the Fabric Basket Swap was June 5, so I got my partners gifts in the mail early. Making my first Zakka Style Pincushion for my partner and a cute birdie basket too! I made things I really loved myself. Then I mailed them off to a new home. It is always great when your partner tells you how much they liked their gifts. It is the best part of the swap to me. I always worry it might not be good enough. I guess I still need validation sometimes.

I really enjoyed making flags with the WVMQG to send To Boston With Love that are now hanging in the Museum of Fine Arts Boston

Bee blocks for Scrappy? Sew bee it!. Another June goal catch up on bee blocks!

Stitch on Prints is one of my latest passions. This pocket is one of two I am working on for my Tammy Bag for Madam Samm of Sew We Quilt a blog hop which will run from Jun 12 - 18, 2013. My day will be Jun 13th. If you haven't signed up for the May Stitch on Prints Giveaway please do so HERE




Thank you for stopping by "In The Boon Docks" and I hope you come back real soon!
Until next time, create and be unique, 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...
