  Hello and welcome to "In The Boon Docks" my name is Lisa. I am one of two featured bloggers for the Winter Wonderland Sew Along - Fat Quarter Shop's Jolly Jabber here and on Instagram so if your stopping in for the first time I hope you like what you see and follow. I did the Mittens block, of the Sleigh Bell Sampler Quilt, from the book Winter Wonderland by Sherri Falls of This & That Pattern Company . Melissa of Happy Quilting is the other blogger for this week. Please stop by her blog when you leave here to see the second block for this week.   What a wonderful book, it breaks down all the blocks with clear and easy directions. The book has quilts, tablerunners, tabletopper, and even a tree skirt. The sew along quilt is right on the front of the book! I think it is sew cute! Now for my Mitten block . Print Fabric: Cotton + Steel Holiday 2015, Solid Fabric: RJR Cotton Supreme Solids, Piecing thread: Aurifil #2024 It is going to make a great Chri...

It is from the U.K. but you can find it at Barnes & Noble Stores near you or a Books a Million. Book stores with magazines are my favorite place to hang out in a city. Which is one of the few things I miss living out here in the boon docks.   I started to work on my shrink it project last night and testing different size hexagons, I think I am happy with 1 1/2"! I have cut several sizes of strips and will get back to you on what works! For now this is what I have. I am in a Halloween Mini Quilt Swap on Instagram and I think my partner will really love this pincushion once I ...

  Hi my name is Lisa and I am so happy to have been invited to participate in the Sew Along through the Fat Quarter Shop . Lori Holt of Bee In My Bonnet is such a talented author, pattern and fabric designer. I love her books and fabric lines with Riley Blake. Have you been following along with Lori Holt's Farm Girl Vintage and jumped on the #farmgirlfridays bandwagon? I love seeing the blocks each week on Instagram. The book has a great variety of patterns that are very easy to follow. It is designed to open and lay flat. The photography is so colorful and beautiful. Did I say cute, so very cute! A keeper my friends! Buy yourself a copy at the Fat Quarter Shop! Old Glory Block Living with two guys, my husband and grandson their hangout space is the livingroom. When I told them I was redoing the couch pillows they both told me they wanted to choose the fabrics. No girly fabric for them. The pattern for "Old Glory" has a scrappy look but that didn't...
