Quilters Square - A Visit

-
When I came to UK Lexington, KY, I left in a hurry. Not my normal sewing things I travel with and certainly no sewing machine. After a week, I think my husband new I needed a little break. He took me to Quilters Square and look who met me at the door!


Little Kaia could bring a smile to any grouch! She sat on the big sewing table and kept me company while I worked on my Cotton + Steel Mini Quilt Swap. The store is really beautiful and full of any fabric you might what for your next project!


She even blows kisses! I love her Hello Bear dress! Such a talented group of people own and work there! Lessons are available and online sales are available!


I fell in love with Tinsel - I see a Christmas Quilt in my future!


This little Bernina B215 is a powerhouse machine I really loved sewing on it! A small act of kindness by these women who own this shop really did wonders for my spirit!


So instead of only having a little bit done my whole quilt top is complete! Remember when you are caring for a sick family member to take a sanity break. So stay healthy physically and mentally while you are going through helping someone recover. They need you but you need you too!

On another note!
My iPad blogging program died while at the hospital! I am learning Blogger Press but it is not as user friendly as the last program. Still have to learn how to insert links. Please keep reading as I am making adjustment. If you know of a good blogging iPad app please share! Thank you

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...
