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 #162: Quilting Along, and Keeping Up
You might have noticed it's been two weeks since I've posted. I totally let last week go by and I have no idea where it went! What I do know is that I've been stitching my little heart out, working on customer quilts, and trying to get as many done and out the door as...
MCM #161: A Lovely Table Runner and Fun Blocks
Happy Monday! I hope the cool down that is coming today in the States affects you and you'll have a much more comfortable day today. I know I'm looking forward to it! Last week I told you I was going to share pics of the quilt top given to me by my M-I-L and pieced by...
MCM #160: An Unplanned Break and Several Finished Projects
Welcome to another Main Crush Monday. Today is July 15...where has the year gone? I saw a fun little thing making the rounds on Facebook - something along the lines of July 4th is over so now it's time for back to school shopping, Halloween costume making, Christmas...
MCM #159: It’s a Bear-y Froggy Week and I’m Smitten With This Quilt
So last week we spent a few days in the Pennsylvania countryside visiting my sister and her family. My brother, his wife, and our Mom were also there so we counted it as a mini family reunion. The highlight of the week was this guy: As someone who doesn't get to see...
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...
