This week on Not Your Granny’s Quilt Show, I’m joined by Mac C of MA Couture Crafting, a modern quilter, embroidery artist, and the self-proclaimed Quiltress bringing bold creativity and joy into the sewing space. Mac is the founder of MA Couture Crafting, where she offers quilting fabric, sewing tools, quilt patterns, and original fabric designs. She also leads the Pop Quilture Community, an online quilting community featuring meetups, events, forums, and education for quilters of all skill levels. In this episode, we dive into Mac’s quilting journey, which began after a spontaneous trip to QuiltCon in 2018. Inspired by modern quilts but without knowing how to sew, Mac took a leap in 2019, bought her first sewing machine, and started creating. Since then, she has built a creative business that blends quilting, machine embroidery, and fandom. We talk about: Modern quilting and finding your creative style Starting quilting as a beginner Building a quilting business and brand Machine embroidery with Melco QuiltCon inspiration and the modern quilt movement Creating community in the sewing space Embracing joy, color, and personality in quilting Mac is also known for her love of Disney and her Melco Mondays series, where she shares embroidery tips, projects, and behind-the-scenes looks at her process. If you are interested in quilting, sewing, embroidery, or building a creative business, this episode is packed with inspiration and practical insight.
