Flower Wool Applique
This next quilt is absolutely gorgeous! It was made by Donna and of course it deserved some custom quilting! Each block has some unique quilting to highlight her hard work. Love it.

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!

Sweet Summertime - Swirly Girls Design
Next up for the Swirly Girls Design is this adorable summer themed quilt with some cross stitch accents. I used two different custom border designs in the white border surrounding the smaller half square triangle blocks. For the larger colored blocks, I used two different flower motifs that mimicked the flowers in the fabric. I also outlined the cross stitch blocks to highlight the adorable little summer scenes. The outside border got a simple wavy design to help highlight the fabric itself. Turned out adorable!!

Truda's Chic Diamonds Quilt
This is Truda's "derivative" of the Chic Diamond's quilt pattern by Sew Kind of Wonderful. I used an all over design of a wavy checkerboard to accent the curves of the piecing. I think it really works!

Mavis's Aviatrix Medallion Quilt!
Wow, this one is so freakin' gorgeous, I can't take it. So much so that this one was hard to send back. But alas, it is back in Mavis' hands. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. The quilt pattern is called Aviatrix Medallion by Elizabeth Hartman. I used a silver Glide thread throughout and Quilter's Dream wool batting.
