Hello friends, this is Jennifer Long from Sew A Story, a fabric designer with Riley Blake Designs and a doll and quilt pattern designer.
After this long winter, I’m dreaming of strawberry season! And what better way to prepare for spring than by sewing my new Strawberry Basket quilt! This quilt is made from two easy blocks that form a gorgeous secondary design when pieced into the quilt.
Choose juicy red and pink fabrics for the strawberries and pair them with fresh greens and crisp whites for a throw-size quilt that’s perfect for displaying in your home or taking on a picnic.
The Strawberry Basket Quilt finishes at 60” x 77”, and is traditionally-pieced and beginner-friendly! The Strawberry Basket Quilt features my To Grandmother’s House fabric designed by Jennifer Long for Riley Blake Designs.

Hi Friends! I am so happy you are here. My name is Jennifer Long, and I am a Riley Blake Designs Fabric Designer, Quilt & Doll Pattern Writer, Machine Embroidery Digitizer, and online educator. I am also the founder of the Sew A Story Pattern Club and the Modern Rag Doll Membership.
I am married and a mom to (4) pre-teens / teens and live on a little hobby farm in rural Prairie Canada. I grew up training to be a professional ballet dancer, and later studied Early Childhood Education. I taught ballet and ran my own dance studio all the while sewing and designing costumes for myself and many of my colleagues and students.
I am passionate about all things FABRIC, imagination and design and am so blessed I can share this passion with others.
This journey has inspired me to make a positive difference by designing dolls and quilt patterns and fabric for others to be EMPOWERED to sew themselves! I have designed dolls and quilts for individuals, organizations, companies, designers, authors of children’s books, and international companies for mass production.
What I LOVE the most about creativity is finding INSPIRATION everywhere and, in turn, INSPIRING others to do the same! Thank you for joining me on this creative journey.
