The secret life of dogs and dealing with excess from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

You all have some great suggestions! I can't use my phone as a camera because I sometimes attach it to the computer to share the phone screen (showcasing an app), so that won't work. But all is good! I have an iPad that will work fine after I get a couple of accessories. 

I used the saddle chair a fair bit yesterday, and I like it, although I did find it a bit "exhausting" staying in the correct position for a great length of time. But all that shows is how badly I sit in a regular chair ...

Summer Jubilee Sew Along Week 5 from Art Gallery Fabrics-The Creative Blog

Hi Quilters!

Welcome to week 5 of the Summer Jubilee Sew Along!

We are almost to the finish line.  By now, you have made all of the blocks, and now it is time to assemble your quilt top!

This will be an easy and fun week.

If you didn't press your blocks as you were making them, now is the time to do that.  Pressed blocks sew together better. 

I recommend pressing the seams open as indicated in the pattern, but if you press your seams to the side, you can get flatter seams by placing the blocks under ...

Take Away Your Binding Fears and Bind Like a Pro with AGF 2.5 Edition Binding from Art Gallery Fabrics-The Creative Blog

AGF 2.5 Edition Binding Fabrics

Hello Sewing Friends, 

Raise your hand if you enjoy the binding process of a quilt or sewing project? That's so great if your hand is up but I know for me and many others the binding process can get a bit stressful, tricky, and never come out the way you hoped. For years after I started quilting I was terrified of the binding stage and never actually finished a quilting project. Making quilt tops was my jam, starting a new one before finishing the first one and a lot of times working on 4 quilts at a time. What ...

Summer Jubilee Sew Along Week 3 from Art Gallery Fabrics-The Creative Blog

Hi Quilters,

Welcome to Week 3 of the Summer Jubilee Sew Along!

By now, you have made your Starburst blocks, and now we are ready to dive into the Rosette Blocks!

Chain piecing will be your friend this week as we make all the little units that will become the Rosette blocks.

Photo Mar 26 2025  11 16 11 AM

These blocks may feel complicated, but they consist of blocks you are probably already really familiar with:  half square triangles (HSTs) and Flying Geese (FGs).

The HSTs are made 8 at a time, and the FGs are made 4 at a time so you can create the units ...

Summer Jubilee Sew Along Week 2 from Art Gallery Fabrics-The Creative Blog

Hi Quilters,

Welcome to Week 2 of the Summer Jubilee Sew Along!

If you are just joining or haven't chosen fabrics yet, kits are still available HERE.  Grab one while they last!

IMG_8116

This week we are cutting our fabrics and will begin assembling the units to make our Starburst blocks.

I love to start with a fresh blade and usually begin with cutting the background first since this usually has the most cuts (and honestly, it keeps me motivated to keep cutting since the prints are the most fun to cut, right?

There are fabric labels provided for you ...

10 Handmade Last-Minute Gifts for Mother’s Day - (that she is actually going to LOVE) from Art Gallery Fabrics-The Creative Blog

Hello Sewing Friends, 

I have officially been a part of the Mom’s club for almost 4 years now and boy it has been a wild ride!  Motherhood completely changes your  life in more ways than anything can prepare for but what I have appreciated the most is how much stronger, patient, and resilient you become. You experience love on a whole new level that I still find hard to describe. Becoming a parent you are given the gift to relive your childhood through your children, finding that childlike joy we end up losing as adults. Unresolved issues from our ...

Step into Spring with Romance and Elegance with our Love Letters Fabric Lookbook from Art Gallery Fabrics-The Creative Blog

Hi Sewing Friends, 

Does anyone else still write handwritten letters to family and friends? Growing up I remember having pen pals assigned to us in school from different schools and countries. Over the course of the school year we would get to know each other through exchanging letters and photos. Sending them things on holidays and sharing our lives, keeping them in touch with the day to day. Even though I never got to meet any of my pen pals we created a bond and connection sharing our lives through letters.Til this day I try to keep this important ...

My Favorite “Go To” Baby Quilt Patterns from Modern Sunbonnet Sue

Quilters like certain patterns to stitch for baby quilts. These patterns are conducive to smaller block sizes, juvenile cotton prints, and easy stitching. I have made a fair number of baby quilts over the years. One-patch blocks like 9-patch, tumbling blocks, or parallelogram shapes are classic designs. Alphabet blocks, animal blocks, and fussy-cut pieces for […]
