MBD Blogger #3 - Karen Neary

Karen is the MBD Blogger furtherest from where I have conducted this blog hop scheme. Karen hails from Halifax, Nova Scotia, CA.

I too (like Linda) discovered Karen when I did an online search of Mirror Ball Dot and was immediately drawn to her design style. Circles and curves, spirals ending in finely executed points. Around and around we go...

Karen had me at her "Fruit Smoothy". The colors, the fact that she wasn't afraid of bias and sewing together convex and concave seams... I had found a kindred spirit (I have a menswear background and arm scythes and inseam curves, collars and necklines all intrigue and challenge me).

Karen has treated you (and me) to several projects all involving curves. 

I am in the mood to blabber on but I think I'll allow Karen her moment in the spotlight and just say, "Thanks for being a part of my little bit of madness called The MBD Blog Hop!"

MBD Blog Hop Week #2

Linda Solovic

Mirror Ball Dot Enthusiast #2

from St. Louis, Missouri

About a year ago I "found" Linda when I did a Google search of Mirror Ball Dot.

She obviously was already a dedicated enthusiast since she had discovered MBD when it was initially released. I was very taken by her use of the product, in conjunction with her original designs for needlework and embellishment.

For me, Linda has a very appealing style: evoking a modern interpretation by using a minimalist approach and a graphic sensibility with an almost childlike simplicity. Her work is fun, fresh and will definitely inspire creativity and hopefully introduce you to a new way of using Mirror Ball Dot, Cotton Couture and fabric in general.

I also like Linda's choice of colors. They are a harmonious palette that is calming, soothing and easily understandable. I wish I could do a spoiler teaser but that would be unfair.

So without further ado (and taunting you unfairly) I present the link to 

Linda's Mirror Ball Dot Blog Hop post for Sunday, May 05th.

Psst! If you check today she just might give you a peek at what's she's going to do! Do I know something? Maybe. ;)

And don't forget to check out Jamie Muller's blog to find out who is the lucky recipient for her random drawing of the Mirror Ball Dot color card and and 5 Fat Quarters of MBD fabric in the winner's choice of colors.

Great Post!
