An Art Swap

Randomly a few weeks ago, I was tagged on IG and saw that one of my mini mini quilts that I'd donated to a local Free Little Art Gallery, had traveled all the way to Arlington VA and was in a FLAG there! The curator, Stacey @freelittleartgallery_arlington and I got to talking, and before I knew it, we'd agreed to a little swap. I'd send her a few more mini mini quilts for her art gallery, and she'd send me a piece of art from hers. So I set to work making more mini minis.


For this set, I cut up a small finished quilt, Golden Honey, into 4" squares, binding each one with single-fold binding using a tutorial by Yvonne @quiltingjetgirl.

I sent four off to the Arlington VA art gallery, and kept two to donate elsewhere. And just this week, I got happy mail from FLAG | Dominion Hills - Arlington VA @freelittleartgallery_arlington - two pieces of art + a sticker!


The landscape is by Jen of @littlefreeartgallery_oldtown; and the pretzel is by Anastasia Inciardi @inciardi, who happens to be the creator of Mini Print Vending Machines @inciardimachines. I'm pleased to have them both.


Meanwhile, through the FLAG community, I also arranged to send the last two mini minis from this batch to Jennifer @freelittleartgalleryga. Looks like I need to make more soon!

  1. Well, that's just really delightful. I'm glad my binding tutorial still comes in handy for others!

  2. How bold to cut up your piece! But please help me out. What is FLAG? I tried to google it... Also congrats on your growing network of gallery enthusiasts. This seems to be a fun community. xo
