Hi, Iโ€™m Lindsay Conner, an author, modern quilter, editor, and founder of the Lindsay Sews blog. Iโ€™m a Baby Lock ambassador and Stash Books author who loves writing modern sewing and quilt patterns for beginners and weekend sewists! I live in Indianapolis, Indiana with my husband, son, and two loveable cats, Murph and Chloe. Iโ€™ve been crafting for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I saved my dollar bills for trips with my mom to Jo-Ann Fabrics, where Iโ€™d find new floss for friendship bracelets or mini cross-stitch kits. Because my mom has always shared my love for crafting, she bought me my first sewing machine, a Hello Kitty Janome.

    I can get motivated to sew just by browsing Pinterest or going through my stash… I usually come up with several new project ideas that just need to get started!

I have a list of matching fabrics and patterns I have that I want to sew. Just making a check on one item motivates me to go for the next one. I love Coats and Clarks and that tin is gorgeous. Will love to win.

    I make myself go in and sew for an hour every week day. Usually this ends up being 3-4 hours. I enjoy it so much that once I get in my sewing room, I hate to leave. I also try to make up some soup or something easy to reheat so I can grab something quick through the week. The weekends I leave open in case I want to go out somewhere with family or friends.

Usually it has something to do with the Granddaughter who started to sew this year and we always have something to finish. I has been a hard year with illness in the family and sewing or crafts takes my mind off of all things going on in my life-with a project going on I can get away from all the problems and be at peace with myself. Use Coats and Clark all of the time!

I must admit, there are days that I can’t get motivated to do much of anything. Then I start looking at what other people have done, and get excited to try the same thing.

    When I am in a rut, it’s because I have screwed something up! Sometimes I can fix it easily other times, it goes to the land of UFOs. Many times though I will unrut myself by looking at a new piece of fabric and begin the design process from one piece of fabric. I almost never say–This is what I am making, because I let the fabric lead me to where it wants to go.

    When I’m in a sewing rut it’s usually because I’ve been putting too much time into a project. If I step away for a while and give myself some recovery time I come back better than ever. I think that’s why quilters usually have several projects going at the same time; it prevents us from getting bored and lacking in creativity.

    When I’m in a rut, it’s usually because I’ve been working on a big project for too long. Often I’ll step away from the machine and switch to a smaller item that incorporates a different sewing technique (ex: embroidery, cross stitch, hand quilting, sewing on buttons)for a while. Variety is the spice of life!

    My daughter always motivates me. She finds more clothing items for me to copy or recreate especially for her than I will ever come up with on my own. It’s the, “Mom, can you make me…..?” that keeps me going. ๐Ÿ™‚

    It doesn’t take much to motivate me when I want to sew. I always have a couple dozen ideas in my head. Still, I love to browse thru my pinterest boards that I’ve labeled sewing; sewing for kids; and sewing for babies. Tons of ideas are out there!

    I pull all of my fabric out of they’re shelf and refold each piece. Just touching the fabrics sparks the inner-creator. And I always promise myself after I have finished the task that I will always put each piece back in the right place each time I make something, so it doesn’t look so messy… needless to say that promise only lasts a day before I’m stuffing them back willy-nilly

    I’ve been in a sewing rut for years….LITERALLY!! About 2 (ok, 6!) years ago, I bought a new machine with all the bells and whistles….prior to that I sewed on my mother’s old Singer straight sew with the button-hole attachment. I made great Halloween costumes for my kids (who are adults now!)

    So, yes, in a rut for years…the new machine sitting in the closet waiting patiently for some attention.

    My motivation???
    My brand new Granddaughter!!!
    I’ve unboxed the machine, read the directions a million times (why does the pressure foot lifter go right to left??? I need back to front!! And how does that needle threader work again??) and am sewing for my Sweetie.

    I also have fabric – from Etsy – for drapes; vintage patterns from eBay, a “new” baby quilt (with her mother’s quilt inside)….lots of projects just waiting for me!!! Ahhhh Pinterest, I’ve so happy I found you!!

    All it takes is looking at a pattern book or magazine and seeing a new fabric line. Reading blogs gives me lots of inspiration.

    A rainy day is my best inspiration because that,s the day I get to spend in my sewingroom all day. Surrounded by my fabric, patterns, magazines and books, all the tools to create something new and amazing. I love using Coats and Clark thread to do thread art on my quilts!

    When I’m in a sewing rut, I unfortunately need to step away from the table. I crochet, garden, spend time with family (of course!) friends and neighbors, flip through a magazine, cruise online… otherwise take a little vacation from the needle and thread. Then something will hit me like seeing the beauty in a spiderweb glistening in the moonlight and BOOM! I have my next project idea. ๐Ÿ˜€

    I do some online blog browsing or flip through some quilting books or magazines to find something that inspires me. Or I look at my huge pile of scraps and start sewing wonky log cabin blocks to use up the leftovers.

    I get motivated by my children. They are always after me to make them something or to sew with me. So I have constant inspiration from them. My little girl also loves to look over my shoulder when I am on Pinterest and say “I want that, Mummy” at very regular intervals. With everything she wants I don’t have time to be uninspired!! ๐Ÿ˜€

    How wonderful, I have been using Coats and Clark since I was seven years old.
    When I need motivation I usually start by taking a short break and concentrate on people, nature, etc. I see colors, designs and patterns all new and fresh. That will usually start my brain working overtime again.
