I was asked to participate in the latest Art Gallery Fabric & Fat Quarter Shop Stitch Along with Kimberly blog hop!
Check out this video explaining the FREE Welded quilt pattern:
The Fat Quarter Shop has also made up some kits for us to purchase, featuring that lovely Artisan fabric line by Pat Bravo:
Welded Quilt Kit
Backing Set for Welded Quilt
As part of participating in this blog event, I got to see the pattern before it was distributed, and I got to choose any Art Gallery fabrics that I wanted to use to make up the pattern…how cool is that?!?! I waited eagerly for the precious fabric to arrive, did a little dance at my mailbox when it showed up, and dashed home to pre-wash it like all good little crafters do…
And then I broke my foot.
Because I’m Cara, and that is what I do.
And, because I’m Cara, I really did experiment with the idea of pushing through a broken foot and sewing my quilt anyway…which lasted about the amount of time it took to move my fabric from my cutting table to my ironing board and I tripped about seventeen times. As much as I love quilting, “death by tripping over iron cord” is really not the way I want to bow out of this world.
A sad email was then written to the Fat Quarter Shop. *sniffle*
A very kind response was received. *smile* The folks at the Fat Quarter Shop are so very nice.
I am really bummed that I couldn’t make up a quilt to show you, because the Welded pattern is super cute, and I was really looking forward to its assembly.
But, even though I don’t have a quilt to show, I DO have a lovely, lovely giveaway to offer: a fat quarter bundle of your favorite Art Gallery fabrics!
To enter, simply leave a comment on this blog post telling me at least ONE (1) Art Gallery fabric that you would choose to have in your fat quarter bundle if you won! Also make sure to include a way for me to contact you if you win. (Not sure which Art Gallery fabric you’d like? Visit the Art Gallery Fabric website or Fat Quarter Shop’s Art Gallery section, drool a little bit, and then come back here to leave a comment.)
Giveaway is open to US and International commenters, and will close on Friday, October 2nd, 2015 at 11:59 pm MDT. I’ll post the winner here and on Instagram (@thatcraftycara) the next day.
A huge thank you to Art Gallery Fabrics and the Fat Quarter Shop for inviting me to be a part of this Welded quilt pattern release; it has been a lot of fun even without being able to fully participate! I’m really looking forward to sewing up my own quilt once my foot has healed!

Prisma Elements is a very modern and crisp line. I want to use more modern prints in my next quilt and Prisma Elements is just what I’m looking for. I hope you heal quickly.

Sorry to hear about your foot. Take time for it to heal and lisyen to your physio. The last thing you want is a painful foot keeping you from a long and happy sewing life.
I’d go with the girls handle bar tricks I think. We are a very bikey family so it would fit right in.
