Beach Bound Quilt - Custom Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner

I've shared several fun quilts that the ladies at my local quilt shop, Quilted Works have designed. This is another one of their darling designs. The super duper cool thing about their designs is, all of the applique pieces are laser cut, so putting together the quilt tops is pretty quick!

A year or so ago they designed a fun Beach Break quilt, it was a hit and I was able to custom machine quilt that fun quilt for them. Now, they've got this darling mini that is a companion to Beach Break.

Minion Quilt - Custom Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner

Carol pieced this fun minion quilt top, it's actually a panel and she brought it to me for some custom machine quilting.

Whenever I machine quilt panel type quilts I like to do a lot of outlining and try to really bring the panel to life with my machine quilting.

Flame Quilt - Edge to Edge Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner

Mark made this fun quilt and sent it to me for some edge to edge machine quilting. This was actually his first quilt and he did a fantastic job with it!

Right away I knew that this quilt needed some flames. The color palate that Mark used just screamed flames to me.

Double Arrow Quilt - Custom Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner

Helen pieced this beautiful Double Arrow quilt and then sent it to me for some custom machine quilting.

Helen really loved how the original quilt was quilted, she loved the feathers in the setting triangles and the straight lines in the stars, she just wanted something a little different as the background filler. We decided that swirls would be the perfect fit, and I agree, I think they are.

Easter Quilt - Custom Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner

Marilyn made this darling Easter quilt. Everything is so brown and dreary outside, so this quilt seems like the perfect quilt to be working on right now! :)

Actually just after I started custom machine quilting this quilt I shared the picture below on Instagram, my kids and I were all sick over the Christmas break and this quilt was the perfect quilt to bright up my day and get me back into the swing of things after being sick.

Autumn Quilt - Custom Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner

Oh, my, gosh! Time is just flying by and I'm suddenly feeling really guilty at how far behind I've gotten with my blogging. I love sharing my quilts here on the blog, but I guess I just got really busy machine quilting and didn't take the time to share the beautiful quilts I've been working on here with you all!


Last fall, actually just before fall Quilt Market I custom machine quilted this darling fall quilt for my local quilt shop, Quilted Works. It's one of the original designs, and all of the applique pieces are cut with a laser, making the quilt top really fun and easy to put together. You can check out more of their fun laser cut quilt tops and kits here.

Butterfly Quilt - Edge to Edge Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner

This is another one of the beautiful quilts that I was able to machine quilt just before Christmas. Deb made this beautiful Butterfly quilt and sent it to me for some edge to edge machine quilting.


Deb wanted to keep it soft and a bit frilly so we chose this fun edge to edge pattern. I just love how it turned out!

Woven Quilt - Edge to Edge Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner

Just before Christmas Cheryl made this beautiful quilt from all woven fabrics. The quilt was a Christmas gift for her brother so she asked me to machine quilt it for her, and keep it very masculine. 

We decided to go with this beautiful Diagonal Plaid pantograph pattern. I knew it would keep the masculine feel, yet add a modern crispness to the quilt.

Row Quilt - Custom Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner

Okay, it's time to get caught up and share some of the beautiful quilts that I was able to machine quilt before Christmas. 

This beautiful quilt was pieced by Kathy, row quilts are some of my favorite types of quilts to quilt. I love bringing each row of the quilt to life with my machine quilting, and this quilt was no different.

Dashing Quilt - Custom Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner

Wow - can you believe we're already a few days into 2017! I can't. Life has been a bit crazy over here. My family and I traveled over the Christmas break to spend the holiday with our families, we had a great trip and love spending time with them, but of course, we all caught some nasty bug. So between the four of us, at least one of us has been sick every day since. :( 

I hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas and your new year is off to a great start! With my kids home from school and the craziness I did manage to get a tiny bit of quilting in and I finished quilting this beautiful Dashing quilt that Mary made.

The quilt is beautiful and as soon as I saw it I knew immediately that I needed to custom machine quilt it in a way that would really make the secondary pattern come to life.
