{Sew} Modern Monday #8

Welcome to another addition of 

{Sew} Modern Monday 
here at Canoe Ridge Creations!

I began {Sew} Modern Monday with the desire to create a place where people can share recent sewing and quilting projects using modern fabrics and/or designs. As you all know, there are quite a few linky parties out there for sewing and quilting in general, but there were hardly any for modern sewing specifically. Consequently, {Sew} Modern Monday was created here at Canoe Ridge Creations. Every so often I get e-mails from people asking what qualifies as a modern sewing.  The thing is, modern sewing can take on a different meaning for each and every one of us.  It is hard to come up with a concrete definition.  Do you agree?

 

Amy and Erin, the brilliant minds behind the Sewing Summit, just did a great post about this very topic.  Amy discusses what it means to be a modern sewist to her personally and is also asking for input from the blogging community.  Go check it out (there may even be a giveaway involved)!

 

Perhaps it is easier to pin point what modern sewing isn't?  What do you think?  I would love to hear your opinions.

And now a little modern sewing from the home front.  

 

Over the weekend, I was looking for a small project to work on.  You see, I am in the middle of quite a few larger projects and really wanted the instant gratification of a finish.  As I was looking through flickr for some inspiration, I fell upon this pincushion from i like orange, too!  I was hooked.  The simple look of a Kona gray paired with the rainbow color way is a classic.  Love.  So in less than an hour, I whipped up this pretty little pincushion.

 

My intentions are to keep this little guy for myself.  But, if my MMM swap partner likes it I may be making another.  Hmm, we shall see. :)

I am also linking my finish up to Fabric Tuesday!

 

Now it's your turn to link up.  Get those modern projects ready!

You know the drill...

1.) Link up a recent sewing or quilting project finish using modern fabrics and/or designs.  Please link to the specific post, not just your blog home page.
2.) Link back to my blog in your post.  If you want, grab the {Sew} Modern Monday button over on the sidebar and add it to your blog.  That way you won't have to remember each week.
3.) Please check out other people's {Sew} Modern Monday links.  What fun is a linky party without comments?  Please take the time to comment on other people's posts.
4.) If you like, join the flickr group and share your pictures there as well.
