Machine Quilting ~ Sharing a few quilts

noreply@blogger.com (Natalia Bonner) — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 16:28:00 +0000

I've gotten a little behind on sharing the beautiful quilts that I have quilted for my customers, here are a few that I've machine quilted recently.

Barbara pieced this fun flannel quilt, she makes darling flannel quilts, they are always so soft.

I machine quilted this one for her using some high-loft polyester batting and it really just made the quilt so soft and cuddly!

Raymie pieced this fun quilt, well actually, I'm pretty sure that she taught her husband to sew and he pieced this one! Pretty impressed, the seams line up so nicely.

I machine quilted circles all over, I think it turned out really cute and with the flannel fabric on the back this quilt is super soft too!

This is another one of Raymie's quilts! I love the quilt, the applique blocks are so darling and it's big enough to use on a bed.

I machine quilted this flowery pattern all over on this quilt and it turned out just darling!
Time to head back to the quilting machine! I got a lot to get done in the next few weeks! Then I have a few surprises to share with you!!! :)

Kathy pieced this darling Hugs & Kisses quilt from Terrain by Kate Spain for Moda fabrics.I love it!After working with Terrain the last few day's I'm thinking I should redecorate my whole house in it! It's so cute!Anyways

The quilt is pretty big, it measures about 100"x100" and it's a gift for her daughter.

I custom machine quilted it for her, a modern diamond in the center of each of the white diamonds,

and feathers going in opposite directions through the prints.

She pieced her backing, it's very scrappy & cute, there is one portion that has solid white fabric and it just totally shows off the machine quilting, so of course I had to share a picture!I love it!Thanks for letting me machine quilt this beautiful quilt Kathy!

Jen recently pieced this fun quilt inspired by our Figgy Christmas Quilt Tutorial.I love the springish twist the quilt takes on when using these Frolic fabrics.

I custom machine quilted this quilt for Jen, the quilting turned out really awesome, I'm just a little sad because it's a bad lighting kind of day.Here are a few shots of the quilting that I was able to take!

Love the flowers in each block, and I love the sashing, I just love it all!

I quilted little tiny flowers in the blue cornerstones, they are only 2" so the flowers are pretty tiny.

The flower in each block.

In the ivory section I machine quilted different colored flowers with pebbles around them to make them pop!

Then in the top section I machine quilted some flowers with stems.

Thanks again Jen for letting me machine quilt this fun quilt!

My friend Tina Lewis designed and pieced this beautiful quilt for Fat Quarterly.

I machine quilted it for her, when she brought it to me she told me I could machine quilt whatever I wanted but she wanted a modern look. So to me, modern for this quilt meant a lot of strait lines. She took it and had it professionally photographed and I love the final result!The quilt and machine quilting shows of so beautifully!Thanks again for letting me machine quilt this beautiful quilt Tina!

Machine Quilting and sewing........is dangerous!

noreply@blogger.com (Natalia Bonner) — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:22:00 +0000

Before I tell you about this beautiful quilt that I machine quilted yesterday I have to tell you about how dangerous sewing is!Yesterday I was having a very productive day! Mondays are always great days for me because I always feel like I can get so much accomplished! So, I was moving right along when I somehow managed to get my finger under the needle in my sewing machine, yes, the needle broke off in my finger, it was a mess and it hurt like crazy! I stared at it for a moment and then I went and rinsed it off, pulled the needle out one side of my finger and the thread out the other side.Luckily my hard-core boy scout little brother was there. He quickly grabbed all the supplies and saved the day, he even calmed down my little girl who was hysterical!He probably should have earned some merit badge for that! :)Not to worry, I did go to the Dr. and I did get a tetanus shot!Now, back to sewing!! :)

My sweet customer Gayle pieced this fun, four patch quilt.She pieced the whole top from scraps! Pretty impressive!

I custom machine quilted it for it and I think it turned out really pretty.

The backing is an almost solid fabric so it really showed off the machine quilting.

Thanks for letting me machine quilt this fun quilt Gayle!
And don't worry, I was working on a project of my own when the needle was broken! :)

Tablet Keeper Blog Tour—20 Days of Creativity & Prizes

noreply@blogger.com (Natalia Bonner) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 11:17:00 +0000

Today I get to share my newest little gadget holder, a Nancy Zieman Tablet Keeper. At our home the Ipad is mostly played with by the 4yr old so keeping it a nice cover has always been something that is important. I have always just had cheapo covers that I've purchased, never had anything great that I was proud to walk around with.

I'm still totally crushing on Hometown by Sweetwater for Moda fabrics so of course I made my tablet keeper from Hometown.Hometown fabrics can be purchased at Fat Quarter Shop or at Burgundy Buttons.
One of the essentials for this tablet keeper is the Nancy Ziemans' Trace n Create templates.

(which are pretty cool to work with)I followed the pattern step by step, and I was quite surprised how nicely it all turned out. I'm not one who is good at following directions, or even making anything that isn't flat like a quilt so I was very impressed!

Nancy is hosting a pretty cool give away over on her blog, the giveaway consists of a bunch of Clover notions that any sewer would love to get their hands on!

Don't forget to share pictures of your Tablet Keeper over in Nancy's flickr group.
Also, don't miss checking out everyone else's fun Tablet Keepers, I think it's a lot of fun to see the little twist that everyone else has put on their tablet keepers.
