Gallery of Customer Quilts • Quilted by Lauren Palmer

I’ve posted in my stories, but I thought I should share here too. Police brutality and systemic racism needs to end now. There is an awesome auction/fundraiser happening over at @misterdomesticfundraiser, organized by @misterdomestic and @alder
Welp, here’s to the weirdest birthday of my life. But on the bright side, the sun is shining, and we got to try out some sidewalk chalk and our new bubble machine. And hey, it’s National Quilting Day! Stay safe, friends. As Kentucky&rsquo
It feels weird to keep posting during all of this madness, but, I feel like #IGQuiltFest is a nice distraction from it all as we’re staying in for the time being. Catching up with #IGQuiltFest2020Day15... Quilty friends! My first quilty friends
#IGQuiltFest2020Day14: I don’t make a lot of quilts from start to finish these days (besides t-shit quilts) so my most recent finish was a quilt for @aqsonline. Quilt finishing services (longarm quilting and binding) are a big part of my everyd
Keeping up with our regularly scheduled programming: #IGQuiltFest2020Day13: Best Tip Evarrr. It’s really tough to come up with a single best tip, but the one that I use every single day is, undoubtedly, keeping thread snips EVERYWHERE. Attached
Stocking up on TP, Quilter’s Style 😆 #jkitsjustbatting #newcar #allthespace
#IGQuiltFest2020Day12: Pressing matters! Since I already posted about pressing direction a few days ago, this time I’ll talk about my pressing board. Guys, if you’re still using a regular old ironing board for quilting, I strongly recomme
#IGQuiltFest2020Day11: Why I quilt. I started quilting because it was fun, and I liked being able to make something that I could use every day. I kept sewing and practicing, and eventually started my Etsy shop in 2009 to make extra money during colle
#IGQuiltFest2020Day10: Solids. Solids are my jam. I loooove working with solids, because it’s like paint my numbers, the quilty version. Using solids really lets a quilting design shine. This quilt is called Modern Sunset, one of my first jurie
#IGQuiltFest2020Day9: My Favorite Pattern. This one was tough, because I don’t use a patterns very often. But, I do love anything from Elizabeth Hartman! Even though her animal quilts are made up of lots of tiny, intricate pieces, I love that t
#IGQuiltFest2020Day8: This was my most ambitious #upcycling project ever! We went to see Britney Spears for my SIL’s bachelorette party, and we all dressed up as different Britneys. I chose the denim ball gown circa 2001, obviously, and finally
Any time I have a little extra backing fabric at the end of a quilt, I do a little #fmq practice. #quilting #handiquilter #freemotionquilting
#IGQuiltFest2020Day7 - Lesson Learned: Pressing direction makes a difference! Sometimes you’ll see tiny little arrows on diagrams in quilt patterns. Most often those indicate the direction that you should press your seams. They will help your q
#IGQuiltFest2020Day6: Scrap Quilts. This one is called Modern American. I made it for my book, Stripe Quilts Made Modern. Most of the quilts in the book are made using bias-cut squares, which leaves a lot of scraps (or as I lovingly call them, &ldquo
#IGQuiltFest2020Day5: For today’s post, Quilting on the Go, I struggled with what to post. I never travel with handwork, and I almost never sew by hand. (Crochet is my only portable craft.) But, I do like to carry a graph paper notebook and aud
#IGQuiltFest2020Day4: Creative hands come in all sizes. Even though these tiny hands weren’t very dexterous when I snapped this photo last November, they have come a long way. Right now she loves to color, collect rocks, cut and make food at he
#IGQuiltFestDay3: My most recent finish that never made it to Instagram is the #BjornBear quilt I made for my girl’s first birthday! I scaled it up to full size and it’s the first and last non-customer quilt I’ve made in quite some
For #IGQuiltFestDay2 we’re sharing our best technique and tip. Mine is: Piecing quilts with a walking foot! This is more of a tip to improve your piecing technique - but - it just makes sense to have a second set of feed dogs on the top to help
Hey everyone! I’m Lauren Palmer, and this year I hope to participate as much as I can in #IGQuiltFest2020. Today is for introductions, so here goes. I started sewing when I was 13. I was always into crafting and spent lots of time at the local
Overlapping Boxes quilting on a sample for @aqsonline. It’s nice to do a little freehand #fmq every now and then. 😍 #quilting #quiltingservices #longarmquilting #freemotionquilting #handiquilter #laurenpalmerquilts
