Sewing for 15 minutes is a good way to get myself started when I don't really want to.

Nakayoshi said...

Right now I'm totally in love with my new sewing machine... And I'm trying to sew all kinds of stuff with it. I would love to win this charm pack to make a pillow case. Thanks for this giveaway!

OK - here is a poor attempt at a joke - but I say it to my kids all the time.

Why did the koala fall out of the tree?
Cause it was dead!
Why did the second koala fall out of the tree?
Cause it was attached to the first one!
Why did the third koala fall out of the tree?
Cause it was playing Tic Tac Toe!
Why did the kangaroo drop dead?
Cause three koalas fell on it!

Yeah woeful I know!

Emily C said...

My favorite notion is a rotary wheel that looks like a spurr. It's supposed to be for transferring sewing marks, but I use it for scoring my paper piecing foundations. Works perfectly! Thanks for the chance to win!

I have been wanting to get hold of some comma for ages - I think a layer cake of comma would make a great whack and stack block quilt.

Galatina said...

When I'm in a sewing funk, I go and do something else - usually knitting for a bit. I look at blogs most mornings & usually get inspiration from other people so it's usually not too long before I get back into it. Thanks for the opportunity.

DeborahGun said...

I can't wait for the fabric line Madhuri as I grew up in India - I just love the fabric with the elephants and the bright colours. Thanks for a lovely giveaway.

Had a look at Rhondas etsy shop - I love all the Flea Market Fancy.

Alyce @ Blossom Heart Quilts said...

My latest favourite notion is a Clover bobbin holder that holds 30 bobbins, but is a "tree" so it's very compact and doesn't take up much space!

Alyce @ Blossom Heart Quilts said...

I follow you on FB now :)

Barbara O. said...

Rotary cutter, ruler and cutting mat. I'd be lost without them, it's the only way I get my scraps managed.
Thanks for the chance!

Barbara O. said...

I really like the FleaMarket Flower and Dot fabric

Siobhán said...

Thanks for the chance to win! My favorite notion--this sounds ridiculous, but I have to say pins. I'd never used pins until just recently and am thrilled with how much less time I'm spending with the seam ripper!

Siobhán said...

I follow you through Blog Lovin'.

Siobhán said...

My favorite thingS that Rhonda carries are her assortment of Denyse Schmidt fabrics. Love!

Anonymous said...

I'm really looking forward to Amy Butler's upcoming rerelease. I can stock up on yardage of Coriander which I missed out on the first time around.

Monika said...

My favorite notions are the frixxion pens for marking and my walking foot!!

Ana e os Viraventos said...

Because I am not an expert in sewing I would say my favourite notion is the seam ripper. At least I use it a lot! Thanks for the giveaway. Ana

Julie said...

I checked out your etsy shop and liked the Nicey Jane selection. Your shop is beautiful. I could "play" there all day. So nice to see all the white - it sets everything off so nicely.

robin said...

I follow you via email! Thanks for a great blog, btw.

robin said...

What a wonderful shop- I wanna visit and touch everything in it! I do like the marmalade fabric line. But, it is only one of the tootooMANY I'm liking right now!

DaisyChain said...

I couldn't be without a rotary cutter. How on earth did quilters cut a straight line before - I certainly couldn't!

Nati said...

My favourite notion is the seam ripper... not only because I generally do a LOT of ripping but also as I use them instead of scissors in my embroidery. Thanks for the chance to win.

Marsha said...

what a great opportunity.. my favorite place is my craft room.... my kids have all recently moved out and on with their lives so I've transformed a room into my own craft room... LOVE IT! Just put in a tv and a fridge.. LOL

and the comma fabric bundle is one I've been drooling over...my daughter is a teacher and I'm dying to make a quilt for her with this fabric line..

as for my favorite notion.. do you really expect me to choose... as a quilter I'm obsessed by all notions and anything fabric worthy!

floreksa said...

I sew something quick and easy to get out of funks - a quick bag or some keyfobs - anything to get the juices flowing again.

Szamóca said...

My favourite "notion" is the cardboard of a cerealbox which I use for my hexagons:)))

Sewing pillows always gets me moving! Thanks!

Anonymous said...

I keep a list of sewing projects and ideas that I refer to often. Whenever I need some motivation, I just read through my notes and I usually want to get right to my machine!

Abby said...

I like to stitch for a charity if I'm in a funk. It gives that little oomph and you know it doesn't need to be perfectly you or complicated.

Heather said...

When I have no sewing inspiration, I always have a few quilts that just need to be bound, so I try to get to those. Or, I hear about ANOTHER friend who is having a baby & get inspired to make baby related items!

The go-to birthday gift for my kids' friends is a pretty handmade pouch/pencil case filled with goodies -- usually arts and crafts supplies, but quickly becoming nail polish and lip gloss!

Laura said...

Laura said...

I'm pretty excited about the recent collection Hipster by Holli Zollinger for Riley Blake. I've been a long time fan of hers on Spoonflower and it's nice to see her making it big. :)

erica said...

I think a good way out of a sewing funk is to just sit down and sew. Usually once I actually make something it makes me want to make more

KRubin said...

I love my rotary cutter! Sewing without it was so tedious and difficult!

BrandiSchmandi said...

when i'm in a funk.... sometimes i just have to SLAP OUT OF IT and do it! i'm big on procrastinating and also big into marathon sewing. i may not sew for a month and then all of a sudden i will sew for 8 hours a day for 2 days straight... then i'm exhausted and have to take a break. it's hard for me to wrap my mind around people who sew every day.

Valerie said...

Fun! If I'm in a sewing slump, I know it's time to do some improv just-because sewing. Always gets my creativity going just to play with no end result in mind!

I love anything Tula Pink. I am also still inlove with Sunkissed and I have some that I haven't touched yet because I don't want to cut it. Thanks for the chance!
