🪡✨ **Make-It Monday!**

Raise your hand if you've ever spent five minutes digging through your purse looking for ChapStick... only to find three pens, seven receipts, and a mystery mint instead. 🙋‍♀️😂

This week's project is the perfect solution:

💄 **ChapStick Keychain Holders!**

✨ Quick to make
✨ Great scrap buster
✨ Perfect for purses, backpacks, gym bags, and keychains
✨ Makes adorable gifts and stocking stuffers

The best part? Your ChapStick is always right where you need it!

💬 Be honest... how many tubes of ChapStick do you currently own? And how many can you actually find right now? 😆

📍 Stop by **Rocking Chair Quilts** and pick out some fun fabrics to make a few (because one is never enough!).

🏅🧵 Sunday Stitches: Sewing Room Olympics 🧵🏅

Welcome to the only Olympics where coffee is considered a performance-enhancing substance! ☕😂

Today's events include:

🥇 Threading the needle on the first try
🥇 Finding the scissors before buying another pair
🥇 Successfully matching a bobbin to the right thread
🥇 Avoiding stepping on a pin barefoot
🥇 Speed-cleaning the sewing room when someone says, "Can I stop by?"

Bonus Round:
🏆 Finishing a project without starting three new ones along the way

The competition is fierce, the rules are made up, and somehow we're all still searching for that tape measure we had five minutes ago. 🤣

Tell us—which Sewing Room Olympic event would YOU win gold in? 👇

😂 Sunday Stitches! 😂

Raise your hand if you've ever spent 30 minutes looking for fabric you KNOW you own... only to find it after you've already bought more. 🙋‍♀️

Somewhere in every sewing room is a secret society of fabrics that disappear the second a project calls for them.

Tell us: What's the ONE fabric that's currently missing from your stash? 👇

🧵🐾 Show & Tell Saturday! 🐾🧵

Allie, the Quilt Store Dog, has an important question for our quilting friends...

👀 What project is currently giving you the side-eye from across the room?

You know the one...

🪡 The quilt that's almost finished
🧵 The bag that just needs a zipper
✂️ The project you were sure you'd finish "next weekend"
😂 The fabric you bought because it was pretty and still don't have a plan for

Today is the day to show it off!

📸 Drop a picture in the comments of:
✔️ Your latest finish
✔️ Your current work-in-progress
✔️ Your favorite fabric pull
✔️ Or your oldest UFO (UnFinished Object!)

No judging here—just quilting friends cheering each other on. 💙

And remember... a project sitting on your sewing table is still making progress. It’s thinking. 😆

🧵✨ FEATURE FRIDAY! ✨🧵

This week at Rocking Chair Quilts, we're spotlighting a product that has saved countless quilting friendships...

🌟 BEST PRESS SPRAY 🌟

Also known as:

✔️ The reason your seams behave 😆
✔️ The secret to crisp, flat blocks
✔️ Fabric hairspray... but make it quilting

🪡 Why quilters love it:

✔️ Makes pressing easier
✔️ Helps reduce wrinkles
✔️ Gives fabric a little extra body and stability
✔️ Makes your quilt blocks look extra sharp

💡 Quilter Truth:

You start by spraying one block...

Next thing you know, you're spraying EVERYTHING.

😂 Another Quilter Truth:

A quilt fresh from Best Press smells better than most candles.

💬 Be honest... what's your favorite Best Press scent?

🛍 Stop by Rocking Chair Quilts and stock up on Best Press before your next project. Your seams deserve the VIP treatment!

🪑✨ Throwback Thursday ✨🪡

This week we're buzzing back in time with the classic Shoo Fly quilt block! 🦋

Simple, timeless, and full of charm, the Shoo Fly has been a quilting favorite since the 1800s. Made from basic squares and triangles, it's proof that beautiful quilts don't have to be complicated.

Whether you're a beginner looking for an easy block or a seasoned quilter who appreciates the classics, the Shoo Fly is always a winner. ❤️

We've included a step-by-step guide to help you create your own version of this historic block. Grab some favorite fabrics, fire up that sewing machine, and give it a try!

💬 Have you ever made a Shoo Fly quilt or block? We'd love to see your photos in the comments!

🪑✨ Workshop Wednesday at Rocking Chair Quilts! ✨🧵

🎯 Today's Focus: Auditioning Fabrics Before You Commit

We've all done it...

You sew the block together, step back, and think, "Well, that wasn't what I pictured." 😆

Before you make the first cut, take a few minutes to audition your fabrics!

🧷 Easy Fabric Audition Tips:

✔️ Lay fabrics out together and step back 6–8 feet
✔️ Snap a photo with your phone
✔️ View it in black and white to check contrast
✔️ Swap one fabric at a time to see what changes
✔️ Trust your eye—but don't be afraid to ask a quilting friend!
✔️ If one fabric keeps drawing your attention for the wrong reason, replace it

✨ Great quilts often start with great fabric choices—not great sewing!

💬 Tell us: How long do you spend choosing fabrics before you start a project? Five minutes or five days? 😂

📍 Stop by Rocking Chair Quilts and let us help you pull fabrics for your next masterpiece!
