Jenny pieced this darling Sprout quilt from Emily's pattern.

It's a really big quilt and she's going to use it as a picnic quilt! It'll be perfect, it's so happy!

I machine quilted an all over pattern for her. She liked how Emily had quilted the original version and wanted something like that, so, that's just what I did and I love it!

Baseball Quilts

noreply@blogger.com (Natalia from Piece N Quilt) — Thu, 24 May 2012 15:49:00 +0000

I've mentioned it before but I'll say it again, I live in a small town with just one high school, the high school colors are black and gold. So, I seem to quilt a lot of black and yellow quilts. Colleen recently pieced four of these fun black and yellow quilts for four of the senior baseball players.

She wanted me to machine quilt them with an all over patters, so I machine quilted this fun baseball pattern.

She put solid black minky on the backs and it quilted so cute!

A Sampler Quilt ~ Custom Machine Quilting

noreply@blogger.com (Natalia from Piece N Quilt) — Sat, 19 May 2012 03:00:00 +0000

Laura pieced this darling, bright and happy sampler quilt.

She asked me to custom machine quilt the quilt and she just had a few requests, no stippling and a swirly type design in the center star. So with those few requests I had at it with my creativity and I LOVE how it turned out!

Just to warn you, I may have gone a little crazy with the pictures but since I have to send it back to her and I won't see it again I have to have a lot of pictures to remember. :)This first picture is the quilt before I began quilting. I generally don't share photos of quilts before I begin machine quilting but I thought this one was definitely worth sharing.This is the before.Below you will find all of the after shots, I have quite a few so make sure to click on the Read More link below to see all of the beautiful pictures. :)

There is a lot of detail, my husband thought that the borders were pieced, like piano keys, nope that's just the detail that was created with the machine quilting.

Each block is different, so each block is machine quilted differently.

Bloggers Quilt Festival ~ Spring 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Natalia from Piece N Quilt) — Fri, 18 May 2012 01:24:00 +0000

I cannot believe how fast time has flown by. Is it really time for another edition of Bloggers Quilt Festival?!?!
When I thought about what quilt I should share it actually took me quite a long time to decide what quilt to share, why?.... Well, over the last year I've been busy working so many "secret" projects including my book and having a baby that I haven't had any new individual patterns to share.So, the only quilt that I actually made in the last six months that I still have is my Wonky Baby Quilt.

I made this little quilt for my baby boy, who just turned two months. I had a lot of fun making this quilt, and sharing the tutorial over on Moda Bake Shop. I've always made quilts that are very girly so it was a fun change. When I made this quilt I was on a roll, I created a tutorial for this quilt and also created tutorials for coordinating bedroom decor. Bumper Pads
Dust Ruffle
Wonky Baby Quilt
Toy Blocks
Fabric Wall Art Pottery Barn Inspired Baskets
Thanks for stopping by. I can't wait to take some time and visit all of the other quilts in the Bloggers Quilt Festival.If you are new to my blog take a minute and browse around, I'm a mom who spends a lot of time machine quilting for others, creating patterns, free tutorials and I recently wrote a book, Beginner's Guide to Free-motion quilting.

Kitchen Chair Make-over

noreply@blogger.com (Natalia from Piece N Quilt) — Wed, 16 May 2012 15:19:00 +0000

My sister has had the same darling black kitchen chairs for about ten years. The chairs are really cute but they have soft, off-white, cloth seats, and when you have small children that's not always the best thing.Over the weekend Kathleen and I were at her house and the three of us decided it was time to give the chairs a make-over.I wish I would have taken pictures of the whole chair but I totally forgot to until it was too late.

After taking the cushions off the chairs we removed the original off-white fabric and replaced it with the fun black and white zebra fabric. But, we knew that wouldn't be good enough to last a long time, so we then covered with a layer of heavy vinyl. I think they turned out pretty dang cute and I love that with the vinyl they will stay clean and nice for years to come!

When you are married into a family with nine, yes, you read that right, nine children there are always a lot of babies being born. My sister-in-law recently had a new baby girl named June, so I made her a little self binding receiving blanket, my favorite!

Completed Hobo Quilt

noreply@blogger.com (Natalia from Piece N Quilt) — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 15:16:00 +0000

My Hobo Quilt is done! YAY!Quilted and bound and all, well, it doesn't have a label but for now we'll call it done.

Since this quilt is actually one I'm keeping for myself I couldn't decide how I wanted to machine quilt it. I finally decided that because there is so much going on already that an all over pattern with thread that blended in for the most part would be best.

I really love how it turned out! You can see all of the blocks close up here or in the fickr group.{Connect with us}

I quilted each one with a little theme. Figure 8's
