«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 694 Newer› Newest»My favorite notion is my walking foot but my absolute favorite is when both kids nap at once and I have time to sew!
Oh, and I follow you with feedly.
There are many favorite fabrics collections I`d love to play with so I`m still dreaming!!
I do follow and how about a wallet tutorial or scarf?
Rotary cutter has got to be my favorite notion. The quilt shop looks great.
I do already follow your blog via RSS reader.
Favorite fabric in the Etsy store is Denyse Shmidt green hill ladies league in cranberry.
I was in a sewing funk for what seemed like quite a while. I allowed myself some time to obsess with another crafty passion, crochet, and then just slowly worked back into the sewing. So far so good!
Scissors are favorite tool. I love all shapes, sizes and colors.

I travel relatively frequently for my job, and my suitcases are always full of zipper pouches and drawstring bags that I've whipped up - can never have too many! I would love to win the charm pack - perfect for this kind of project.
I love that Nicey Jane Lindy Leaf in Blue in the shop
My favourite FMQing notions are a Supreme slider and a glass of wine :)

What sits in a pushchair and wobbles? A jelly baby! (My five year old niece's favourite joke and the only one I can remember at the moment!)
I have two favorite notions. I love my purple thang for measuring 1/4" and also for helping material through the machine. I also love my Gypsy Gripper to help me while cutting material. (It is also purple... hmmm I must have a thing for purple today!)
I just visited the etsy shop. I have to say that the Posie In Brown fabric looks like it would make a cute prairie shirt!
I love my rulers. I recently won a wooden holder for my rulers. How did I live without that? It keeps them where I can find them. I used to lose them under piles of fabrics. Not any more!
I follow you with Bloglovin'.
I think I am following you on Bloglovin now!?
I am looking forward to the October Afternoon Sidewalks collection coming out for Riley Blake. OHHHH and Bonnie and Camille's Scrumptious collection!!!
I'm a follower (with Feedly).
I love 'The Ramble' (blueberry) from Greenfield Hill.
When I'm in a sewing funk, finding a classic half square triangle block pattern to throw together always inspires me into the creative process. There's just something about putting HST together...
I follow you on GFC and Bloglovin'. I'm happy to.
My favorite notion is technically not a sewing notion. It's the plug from an exercise ball. It's the perfect size for stuffing little doll legs (I sew a lot of toys and dolls).
Follow on gfc/bloglovin
I love my add a quarter inch ruler for paper piecing. Of course I love many other notions also.
I am already a follower
My favorite fabric right now is Comma!!
I cannot get through a day without Diet Coke. It's not that I'm addicted -- I just like it. :)
I follow your blog through bloglovin.
I just went to the etsy shop and I love that she has a lot of Nicey Jane. One of my favorites ever.
Well, I am in a definite sewing funk right now. With a 2.5 month old, and just starting back to work, I am keeping plenty busy. Thanks for the giveaway!
I already follow you on bloglovin! Thanks for the giveaway!
Wow, it was hard to pick a favorite! But Denyse Schmidt/Flea Market Fancy/Fizzy Dot in Pink caught my eye pretty quick. Thanks for the giveaway!
I always seem to get motivated to sew something as I'm packing to go in a trip. It's always something to take on the trip with me, and I can't seem to imagine going on the trip without it! Makes packing happen at the absolute last minute!

OH my goodness what a pretty shop. I love making charity quilts for our quilt guild for donation to senior services and I know this beautiful jelly would brighten the day of a senior.
I am a follower
I usually make something fun and unnecessary to get out of sewing funks. I think this time it might be a stuffed animal! Thanks for the chance to win! :)
I follow you in my reader!
My favorite thing in Rhonda's store is her FMF eyelet in pink. I've got that in my stash, and I've been hoarding it! :D
Love the Comma fabrics and I'm also looking forward to getting some Hipster!
I follow you via GFC and read on my blogger dashboard.
Love the Moda V and Co. Simply Cotton Ombre in Sweet Tangerine in Rhonda's shop!
I used to follow you on google reader, but now I follow you on "the old reader." I actually saw this post before I saw the main post over on sew mama sew!
As for Rhonda's store, I love the FMF posie in grey!
I have been following you with Feedly. This month I have joined a couple of online bees to push myself out of my comfort zone.
And I love all the Nicey Jane fabrics. They are great colors and great patterns. A perfect match.
I love my rotary cutter...it's a great notion. Thank you.
Following via bloglovin.
My rotary cutter changed my life. :)
I'm following on feedly
Love my snips.
I just got the Clover fabric folding pen, and it's been a lifesaver for hemming curtains and crib skirts.
I love the Simply Color Ombres.
I am living in denial, following you on google reader.
I love sew-in metallic snaps. I just used a set of big ones to make my 7yo a raincoat which even a toddler could open and close with ease.
What motivates me he most is crazy stupid deadlines. I make a point of not putting deadlines on myself, but sometimes they sneak in, like the fact that I had no window treatments on my kitchen windows for 5 years, then decided to host a party and HAD to have them done in a week's notice.

I'm super excited about Tula Pink's new Acacia line, and it's coming out in September, just in time for my birthday! :)
My favorite notion would have to be a lint roller. I use it to pull off the extra threads after seam ripping. So fast and easy. :)
This is my favorite line right now! My favorite notion is my hera marker. I use it all the time! Thanks.
When I'm in a sewing funk I read until the fancy strikes me. Usually one good series of books puts me back in the mood.
i'm in a sewing funk now. well, it's a busy time for me, rather. i keep some extra kiddos and it has seriously cut into my sewing time. but this is my last week!!! so, hopefully i'll get a good stretch in before summer vacation for my kidzzz.
thanks for the great giveaway.
i love comma!!
When I'm in a sewing funk, I just sew on through it. Usually it's because I'm afraid of trying something new. It's never as bad as I thought it would be.
I'm excited about Tula Pink's new line! Thanks for the great giveaway!
Oh, we have to be funny to win?! You'd think that would be easy, but NO!

Why do mermaids wear sea shells?
Because b shells are too small and d shells are too big, hehe
My rotary cutter is my one of the best tools for me, thanks!
When I'm in a sewing funk, I usually make a small quick project like a skirt or tote bag. Instant gratification gets me going again.

My first quilt was cut out with scissors using templates, so my favorite tools are rotary cutters and mats!
Wonderful giveaway, thanks!
Why don't cats play poker in the jungle?
Too many cheetahs!

When I'm in a sewing funk, it usually means that I have too much on my plate at the moment... so I take a break until life gets a little more balanced (or until I need to make a gift for one reason or another), and when my head is clearer, the inspiration pours in! footprint13@gmail.com
I'm a crazy quilter, just buying fabric is enough to get me out of a funk
I love fabric and sewing. My kids have been very sick so i haven't sewn in a while.
I'm looking forward to Heather Ross' new line from Windham, Briar Rose!
I love my new little snips, sharp and small perfect for clipping threads!!!!
I love my rotary cutter! And nothing gets me out of a sewing funk like a deadline! :)
My current favorite notion is a magnet on a stick! I got one of those telescoping magnets so that I could easily pick up pins and scissors that I drop, and my husband was so enamored of it that I got him one too. He uses it in his shop to pick up nuts and bolts that fall into tight spots.
Thank you for the great giveaway, I love charm packs. :)
I love quilting notions, and the one I use alot is the "add a quarter inch" ruler for paper piecing! Thanks for a wonderful giveaway.
I'm a follower on Bloglovin'! Thanks
When I get in a creative funk, I try something COMPLETELY new.
This often, but not always, includes uteri.
When I'm in a funk and need a pick me up, I go quilt shop hopping and do a little retail therapy. It works like a charm...EVERY TIME!
My favorite sewing notion right now is the Wonder Clips by Clover. They're so awesome! They're great for more than just holding binding one. I absolutely love them.
I finally finished my Cosmic Burst top from the QAL. You can see it here:

I'm really excited about the new HR fabric coming out - those frogs in the pond are adorable!!

I love going on Pinterest when I'm in a sewing funk and need inspiration. Granted, I end up finding WAY too many things that I will never get to, but sometimes I need to overload on new ideas! :)
And, I'm currently on a sewing valley... I'm trying to get over the hump, and I think it's just a matter of reorganizing the crafts area. Ah well. Thanks for the opportunity - I've been lusting over the comma collection for a while. So pretty and bold and graphic! adriprints(at)yahoo(dot)com
I love the ramble printed fabric that Ronda has in her shop. I haven't tried free motion quilting before, but it would be fun to use that fabric as a quilt back!
I love using Deb Tucker's Wing Clipper ruler for making accurate flying geese blocks. Thanks for the great giveaway.

My favorite fabric is Flea Market Fancy eyelet in pink.
I am looking forward to purchasing some Winter's Lane by Kate & Birdie, just love this fabric... Oh yeah and some Happy Go Lucky by Bonnie and Camille!

other than the obvious necessities, I love my "Purple Thang" Great notion!
I'm in a bit of a sewing funk myself right now. I think I need to start a new exciting project, or something like that.
I'm already a follower too :)
A great quote -- comparison is the thief of joy.
Love the Flea Market Fancy in the Etsy shop!
Sometimes if I'm in a funk I give myself permission to start a new project, and ignore the WIP I'm stuck on. The ideas on how to finish that will come later.
I love Comma! I'm anxiously awaiting Lush Uptown, too (I missed it the first time around).
I follow your blog via BlogLovin; thanks for the chance!
I like the DS Seedpod!
I was recently in a sewing funk and I spent some time doing other things I like, like reading a good book.
I tweeted! https://twitter.com/giddy99/status/331514059868491776
Well when I'm in a funk, I actually start a cute little embroidery project - usually within an hour I'm ready to tackle the finicky sewing machine again!
I'm excited for the Katie and Birdie winter line
I love the rotary cutters, magnetic pin holders and verigated thread. Thank you for the chance.
Well, I'm new at quilting, I don't know a lot of things but I like COMMA.

Great giveaway! Here's my son's current favorite joke (which he learned just in time for St. Patrick's Day): What's Irish and lives outside? Patio ("Paddy-O") Furniture. :-)
OMG...this is not an attempt at a 3rd entry....I have absolutely no fabrics shop where I live. Our Local walmart doesn't even sell fabric....But looking at the website for Tabby fabrics. I just discovered it is about an hour from me. Now that is a doable trip to Beaufort from where I live. My husband and I go there sometimes to the Lowe's. Thank you "sew" much for posting her store I will definitely be going to vist her shop one Saturday. Thanks a ton.....At first I said Beaufort no way it was be another Beaufort. Nope ...Beaufort, S.C. if you need to delete this post so it doesn't mess up your numbe count fo rthe giveaway that is fine. I was just so excited I had to share.
I'm dying to buy the upcoming Christmas collection of Anni Downs! Thank you for the giveaway
I love Clover clips -- they make bag making a breeze! Thanks for the great giveaway -- I love Comma!

There was a birdie in the sky who left some whitewash in my eye, I did not whimper I did not cry, I'm just glad that cows don't fly.

Checked out the shop - love the grey flea market fancy!
I listen and sing along horribly to really loud 80's hair bands for inspiration for sewing. I scare the dog every time, but sometimes you need some backup to keep you motivated :)
I make as much as I can for my home as well as my kids homes. When I am in a funk I think about all th money I save up them by making their things.
Something to make you laugh - I'm sick today and the huge bear of a dog decides to bolt out the gate when my kids came home from school. So I was in my robe and pjs chasing a bear of a dog down the side of a country road.
Love this fabric, cute shop too!
I'm new to sewing so I don't have a favorite item yet--but I DO love when my 3 yr old takes a long nap and allows me to make some cute items for her :)

My favorite item in Rhonda's shop is Flea Market Fancy Bouquet in turquoise.
