Lori Holt of Bee In My Bonnetis such a talented author, pattern and fabric designer. I love her books and fabric lines with Riley Blake.


My favorite block is the Rooster!

I am excited that Lori included Doll quilts and pillows! Having little granddaughters that love baby dolls! Can you imagine the joy when they are grown discovering it again for their little ones!

A section on pincushions! My heart be still! I love pincushions!

Happy 4th of July America 
I hope you all have a great time this evening take time to sit on a quilt and enjoy the fireworks!
I saw this in Amy Ball’s feed @cofferingsstudio on Instagram  and ask if I could share it here!  She is so nice! I feel this way about every quilt I gift! Coffee Rings Studio

Her latest quilt!



I use my quilts outdoors and NO it doesn’t bother me a bit that anyone else would!
Thank you Amy for letting me pass on your knowledge this 4th of July!
Fireworks
Fireworks displays will be everywhere this evening and be scaring all the fur babies! Try some of these tricks to keep your animals safe! My pets will be in the house hiding! They hate the noise!



Please be especially careful with sparklers and little children! If you use sparklers have a bucket of water nearby to put used ones in! Sparklers are hot long after there spark and can cause terrible burns!
Stay Safe Today! Lisa

Welcome to Getting Caught Up Hello, I am Lisa and if you haven’t been here before welcome! I hope you decide to follow along on my sewing and quilting adventures! This maybe old news to some of you and I love you for it! Thank you for sticking with me throughout the years!
I post on Instagram  Intheboondocksdaily  But my blogging hasn’t  covered a lot of the items  I have made!
I am working on baby quilts this week for new babies!



I am trying like other bloggers  to get back in the habit of  blogging at least once a week!  Now on to getting caught up!


I finished this free pattern from the Fat Quarter Shop Wave Your Flag Tablerunner
Fabrics: Patriotic ones I had in my stash  by Patric Loose,  I also used his Stars line  for the back and Binding Kona Cottons- Dark Blue, Aqua & Snow White Thread: Aurifil 50 Wt It is a patchwork pattern and beginner friendly!
with 4th of July coming up you have time to do this!

Summer Book Club Quilt Along #summerbookclubqal With @katebasti On Instagram  Going on right now!
The pat…

Hexagon Flower Pincushion  Fabric - Heather Ross Trixie

Back of pincushion- Heather Ross Strawberries 

Thimblepads I keep them in a little tin!

Sue Daley Millners Needles  Size 11

Walnut shells

Small scissors and a needle threader!

Aurifil 80 weight thread
A hexagon flower sewn by hand using Aurifil 80 weight thread a piece of backing fabric!  (2) pieces of Pellon SF101 cut to size!
Iron the Pellon  to each back of fabric! It will strengthen  the front side of each side!
Draw a circle on the backside  of your flower! I used a measuring cup,  to draw a circle!
Put fabrics right sides together and sew 1/4” inside the circle!

All the way around!

It will look like above!

Use a seam ripper to make about a 1 1/2” gap

Big enough to put your finger in!

Trim around the circle  (About a 1/4”) Leaving room for clipping!

Clip all around the circle  and be careful not to clip the stitches!
