Sherry’s “Lana Lemur” Quilt

Jan 30

Hi Friends,

I hope that your week is off to a great start!! I have a fun quilt to share with you, that I quilted last fall.

Sherry made this fun Lana Lemur for her lucky granddaughter!! The pattern is by Elizabeth Hartman. Have you made this quilt before?

I used a natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads and my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles.

Sherry let me choose the design, and so I chose Pyrex Stems by Julie Hirt for the quilting design. It’s a design that quilts out lengthwise…meaning to get the design to look vertical on the quilt, the quilt must be turned sideways and also notice the direction of your quilt, so the design is in the right direction. I also offset the design. I love the look of the texture.

The background fabric is so sweet!! I’m not sure who the fabric designer is, sorry!

It’s fun that the lemurs are all solid fabrics, except for inside the ears, and those striped tails are the cutest.

Do you have some quilts that you need to get quilted? I would love to help you with that!! Send me an email at quiltingit@gmail.com and don’t forget to check out more quilting info on my Longarm Quilting Services page.

I haven’t blogged about my newest Domestic Stitches quilting designs…at least I don’t think I have.

I quilted this fun modern baby quilt that my mom made with my new Domestic Stitches Triangles quilting design. It’s one of nine designs that are part of my Domestic Stitches designs. They are inspired by the quilting that many domestic quilters quilt on the sewing machines. Go to my shop, to check out the other eight designs. Or you can get the bundle of all 9 designs for a discount. I’ve quilted out Domestic Stitches Squared on another one of these Star Shadow quilts. (I’ll share after I get pictures.) The pattern is by Krystina Hopkins and was in the Modern Patchwork’s Sept/Oct 2018 issue.
