About Us
A Community Fixture
Quilt’n’Things has been in the community since 1984. Originally located in downtown Montrose, it’s now in La Crescenta at 3704 ½ Foothill Blvd. Owner Lana Norton, a former Art Historian and Museum Educator, prides herself in a beautifully curated collection of fabric from a variety of manufacturers and talented designers. From Nani Iro, to Liberty of London, to Birch Organics, the shelves are full of bolts to help you realize your sewing dreams. Currently customers can shop on-line or by appointment.
Sewing Classes
In-Person Now
The sewing studio is open again and we're offering a variety of private, semi-private, and small group classes. Classes for beginning to advanced sewists include quilting, bag making, garment sewing, and Asian fusion techniques. If you're a beginner, we have the perfect class that will get you started!
Longarm Services

Paul, Lana’s husband, is the resident longarm quilter and expertly turns quilt tops into quilts on the shop’s APQS Millie. An editor by day, Paul brings his technical skills and attention to detail to each customer’s quilt. The shop also sells Eversewn sewing machines.
A Community Partner
Helping Those in Need
A true community partner, Quilt’n’Things responded to the pandemic by offering organic masks, providing free supplies for mask making, and sewing scrub caps for local hospitals. Lana has taught Zoom sewing classes to the residents of The Midnight Mission.
