My first Lion quilt was made about 40 years ago -
And documented in my Quilt Journal - HERE - ;))
So now there are three more Lions that need quilting -
Khaki -
Gold -
And brown/pink - ;))
The khaki and gold ones have a mane with a "swirly" pattern on the fabric -
Which may or may not be easy to follow with some Free-Motion Quilting - ;))
The brown/pink has flowers that probably won't show much quilting -
Just the texture -
And the bottom of the brown/pink one is a pink gingham -
So I will probably use a white thread to have it blend in as much as possible -
BUT -
Before I play with the Lions -
I want to get better at following lines on something that won't show all of my little
So I pulled out the Christmas panel -
Do You See What I See -
That has been in the "pile to be quilted" for some time now - ;))
I found some thread colors that will really blend in -
The more "invisible" - the better - ;))
Besides - this is the last day of July -
And everyone knows we need a little Christmas in July - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

(singing) Haul out the Holly! Put up the tree before my spirit falls again. Fill up the stocking, I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now. For we need a little Christmas. (end singing)
I would think the lions would be easy to quilt. wobbly lines in the mane don't matter at all. Most lions don't have a stylist. Ha ha.
