Main Crush Monday
Let’s talk about Main Crush Monday.
A few weeks ago I had the TV on while I was playing around with some fabric I’d just received in the mail. I heard a girl talking about Main Crush Monday and thought to myself, this fabric is my crush today. And then I thought, I bet other people play with their fabric and crush on it too, wouldn’t it be nice to see what others are working with or see the projects they’re working on?
So, I’d like to invite you to link up anything at all that you are feeling super excited about – it can be a fabric line, a print, a project, a block, a pattern, a new tool, your sewing room, sewing machine, an entire quilt, whatever.
It’s also a good time to get feedback from others. For example, I have the Rosewater Jelly Roll and I’m not sure what project to use it on. Someone in quilt blog land might have a pattern it would be perfect for.
Each week I’ll have a link so you can link your blog post that describes your crush.
FYI: My niece informed me that what I heard was Man Crush Monday. I had to laugh – I guess I heard what I wanted to hear!!! 🙂
MCM #158: Making Sample Blocks – Size Does Matter
Summer has finally arrived in my neck of the woods, and I'm pretty happy about it. Even though there is a chance of a pop-up thunderstorm almost daily, for the most part the sun is shining and the weather is extremely warm. Which makes for some really nice pool time....
MCM #157: An Elephant Played in My Studio Last Week!
Yes, you read that right! I had the cutest elephant mini quilt on the longarm last week and had the most fun quilting it up. You know you've done something right when the client looks at the quilt and can't contain her smile. She loved it, and that makes me love even...
MCM #156 – Handwork Projects are So Satisfying
It's been pretty busy in my little corner of the world. We've had a lot of rainy, stormy weather which limited my time on the longarm, but gave me time to tackle other things that I needed to get done. Boring stuff, like laundry and bills and cleaning. I don't know...
MCM #155: Trying Something New – Have You Ever Sewn with Cork?
Last week was one of those weeks that kept me on my toes. It was a busy week, with some minor complications with a customer quilt, appointments, teaching, and a fun baby shower for my niece. Even in the midst of all the busy-ness I managed to carve out some time for...
MCM #154: I Found Time for Some Personal Sewing!
Good Monday everyone! Today I want to share some bits and pieces of my current project. Lately I've gotten away from sharing the process of the few quilts I make and I thought you might like to see the quilt as it comes together instead of just a 'Ta-Da! Here's the...
MCM #153: Sewing Room Re-Do
Today I want to show you some of the changes I have made in my sewing room. For a while now I've been wanting to switch things up and make the space I have more user-friendly and organized. I also want it to be a space I can use as another bedroom when my nieces and...
MCM #152 – Back from Break and Feeling Rejuvenated
Hi Everyone! I'm back from a much needed blogging break, and feeling energized. Thank you to everyone who reached out and to all of you for being patient while I stepped back for a few weeks. Life got a bit overwhelming and extremely busy and I had to let something go...
MCM 151: Teaching, Quilting, and Piecing – Oh My!
Last week was a pretty busy one. I got a lot done and I'm super happy about that. I finished the quilting on a couple of customer quilts, taught the first session of my Painted Stars class and also found time to do some piecing...for myself!! Surprised? Me too....
MCM 150: Trying Something New
Welcome to Main Crush Monday! I hope you had a great weekend and are ready for everything this new week may bring. Over the weekend I took a few hours and tried something I've wanted to do for a while. I attended a class to learn to do wool applique and I enjoyed it...
Learning My Way Around ProStitcher (Robotics on my Longarm)
You all know how long it took me to decide to add robotics to my longarm. Part of the reason I hesitated was because of my fear of the learning curve. Turns out, even though the ProStitcher is a powerful program with monster capabilities it's also pretty user friendly...
