Weimaraner Applique

This adorable quilt was appliqued by Diane with tons of negative space. When I saw it, I knew I had to quilt this cute pup into a scene. I placed him on a hill with a large tree in the foreground and smaller trees in the background. And of course some leaves blowing in the wind! I love how this one turned out!

Halloween Urban Pods

This quilt is actually one of mine! That doesn't happen too often. I made it out of Halloween fabric, one of my favorite holidays. The pattern is called Urban Pods by Sew Kind of Wonderful. I made the border larger than it called for so that it would be big enough for our couch. I even quilted in some spider webs!

Swirly Girls Design's Machine Pieced Hexagon Quilt

This hexagon quilt was entirely pieced by machine! So cool!  I wanted to highlight the centers of the hexagon shapes with a feather motif that resembled a flower.  The very center deserved a different design to create more intrigue.  I repeated that center design in shadow hexagons on the four corners of the hexagon rings. These contrasted the flower shapes with straight lines radiating out of the center.  The background filler mimics the swirls in the centers of the hexagon flowers and complements and gives the eye a place to rest.  With simple, thought out designs, the overall look of the quilting is very cohesive and creates a great finished piece!

Susan's Exclamation Quilt for Swirly Girls Design

Here is a custom quilting job that I fall in love with every time I see it.  This quilt is one of a series that I completed for Swirly Girls Design.  I used different quilting motifs for each of the color changes in the quilt and created a separate design pattern in the white areas of the quilt.  It almost makes it look like a modern flower or wedding ring pattern.  I can't stop looking at the pictures!

Laura's Nine Patch

This is Laura's quilt and I used an all over pattern that alternated between serpentine lines and wishbones. I love this design! It's so versatile!
