Sherry’s Ewe Troupe Quilt

Hello there,
I hope you’re having a great week!!

First off, I still have plenty of openings for quilting from now until Christmas, I would love to quilt for you! I’m about 2-2.5 weeks out at the moment. Email me at quiltingit@gmail.com or text me. You can drop off or mail in your quilts. I have a form on my website under quilting info that you can print and send with your quilt. If you have any questions, please let me know.

This fun block of the month was made by Sherry and is called, The Ewe Troupe by Stitches of Love. It’s a machine embroidery pattern.

I love how the sheep are dressed up in something different each month, which coordinates with the holidays or seasons.

Sherry loved how the original quilt was quilted, and asked that I quilt it the same. Simple custom quilting for the win! The backgrounds have a small stipple, with a zig zag in the inner border. And, nothing quilted in the sheep, other than the stripes in their faces.

I quilted a line right down the middle of the lighter inner border which is between the sashing and 1” squares. Then some simple one inch pebbles in the postage stamp squares. To finish it off, some 1/2” lines using an Edge ruler from Linda at the Quilted Pineapple in the outer border. Her 8” Edge ruler is my favorite!

Even though the quilting designs are simple, it has great quilty texture overall.

I used 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline out of Utah, and natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads.

The design on sale for this blog post…is my Hexie Scallops and it’s FREE until my next blog post. Don’t hesitate to go get this one!! I’m going to try and blog in the next day or so, and will pick a new design. No code necessary.

Short and sweet…more fun quilts coming soon!! Plus, I have a fun project that I’ve been working on, thats coming soon…more details to come.
Happy quilting and thanks for being here, Leisha
