From sketches and piles of yarn to a booth full of color... this is exactly how I imagined it!
Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Not So Tuft Studio booth The Middle of NOWhere Rural Art & Music Festival! Whether you entered the giveaway, asked questions, tried tufting, or simply stopped to say Hi, I appreciate every conversation and every smile. It was a busy and rewarding day! Even Naethan Apollo stopped by and I forgot to take a pic! 😟
Seeing so many people excited about rug tufting made all the prep work worth it!
More exciting things are on the way!
The Middle of NOWhere Rural Art & Music Festival today! Pop Out until 9pm
Madrid, Iowa
MONfest prep is in full swing!
Sometimes you just have to trust the process and follow the yarn.
This rug is still a work in progress, but it'll be making an appearance at MONfest this weekend! Stop by our booth to see what we've been creating, say hi, and check out all the colorful tufted projects we've been working on.

Some celebrated an anniversary. ❤️
Some celebrated a birthday. 🎉
Some reunited with old college friends.
And everyone left with something they made themselves.
Thank you to everyone who spent part of your holiday weekend at Not So Tuft Studio. Watching first-time tufters create rugs they're proud of never gets old.
Here's what's coming up this month:
🎨 July 11: MONfest — Stop by, watch live tufting, say hello, and learn more about our workshops.
✨ July 29: Creative Collab with Five Monkeys — Choose between creating a custom tufted rug or fused glass in one creative night.
👀 And one more thing... something BIG is happening behind the scenes. I can't share it just yet, but trust me—you'll want to stick around for this one.
Thanks for being part of this amazing community. ❤️
Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
Spending part of today surrounded by my favorite colors—not just because it's the Fourth, but because they're brand colors of Not So Tuft Studio too.
I'm busy making pom-pom garland and putting the finishing touches on everything for The Middle of NOWhere Rural Art & Music Festival next weekend. I can't wait to show you what I've been creating!
Have fun this weekend and be safe!
Had to jump on the bandwagon! 😆

I thought a Mean Girls reference would earn me cool boss points.
Apparently not. 😅
