The Butterfly Quilt - Custom Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner + Bonus Videos!

I recently custom machine quilted this gorgeous butterfly quilt. This quilt is extra special to me for a few reasons, but mostly, because it was pieced by my grandma! Yes, she's awesome and is still an amazing quilter!

A year or so ago my mom gave my grandma the kit to this quilt and my grandma worked on it for several months. She then sent it to me for quilting. She calls herself a "topper", meaning she makes a lot of tops but most of them stay as just tops. So when she asked me to quilt this one for her I was more than thrilled!

I didn't tell her that I had started quilting on it, or anything about it, and today, for Christmas my mom and I gave it back to her, all quilted and bound as a Christmas gift. I can't wait to her what she thinks I'm pretty sure she's going to love it! I hope that someday, in a really, really, really long time I can inherit this quilt.

Dashing Quilt - Custom Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner


Mary made this darling version of a Dashing quilt and sent it to me for some custom machine quilting. I love this pattern, it's such a great pattern that really lends itself to secondary designs that I was able to really bring to life with my machine quilting. 

I love combining ruler work with feathers, I love the modern meets traditional element that it brings to the quilt. :)

Modern Building Blocks Quilt - Custom Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner + Bonus Videos

I recently custom machine quilted two of these gorgeous Moda Modern Building Blocks quilts. I'm sure you all have heard me say, over and over, how much I love quilting these quilts! I've quilted several of them now and no two have been exactly the same, I just can't do it!

These two gorgeous quilts belong to Susan and her daughter Jen. They pieced them together and I really loved custom quilting the quilts.

Red & White Modern Building Blocks Quilt - Custom Machine Quilting by Natalia Bonner

I recently custom machine quilted this beautiful red and white Modern Building Blocks quilt for Linda. Linda loved the version of this quilt that Sherri made and I custom machine quilted for her a few years back, and asked that I machine quilt her quilt similar to Sherri's quilt.
I say this all the time, but, I don't like to quilt two quilts exactly the same. Mostly because my moods and ideas are always changing. So Linda's version is similar to Sherri's it's not exactly the same, and I love that!

Quilting on Video!

It's been a bit quiet here on the blog lately, not intentionally, I've just been busy quilting. I've also had fun brainstorming up fun ways to share what I'm doing, and I've come up with a little plan. I'm going to be sharing fun little videos over on YouTube every Wednesday and Friday. These videos aren't going to be full tutorials, just fun little videos that I create while I'm quilting.

I've got the first two videos up now, I hope you enjoy them.
