Maria's batik box quilt

This is quilt I just finished for Maria.  All batiks (I LOVE batiks).  This was quilted with the Handi Quilter: Groovy Board - Dueling Circles.   I don't have room to take a picture of the entire quilt--I think it was 14 squares by 16 squares.  Isn't it pretty with that punch of rust mixed in with the blacks, browns, and beiges?

Liz's Lipinski project

Liz started this top in a class taught by Mark Lipinski at Pieceful Quilting.  She gave me total freedom on the quilting, and I had a blast!

I love the spaced triple lines.  I don't know if it has a name, but it looks like beadboard to me.

I repeated the triple lines in an inner triangle border with flowers in the next border.
  

Ribbon candy (So Fine thread colors throughout the quilt were matched to the fabric)

I knew immediately that I was going to put butterflies in this section.

Liz's Irish Chain

This is the third one I quilted for Liz, a gift for her son.  Simple Stars and Loops pantograph by Willowleaf Studios.  My pictures don't do the colors justice.  It's a striking red and black quilt.

Liz's strippy quilt

Sorry, Liz, I don't know the official name of this quilt pattern.  But isn't it gorgeous?  This one ended up going to her sister.

Liz's Garden Twist

I'm dreadfully behind in my posting.  The last quilt I quilted for Liz was last May, but the photos are still on my camera!  So, let me show you what Liz can do.
This is the first quilt I quilted for Liz, several years ago.    It's the Garden Twist pattern, and is quilted with Butterfly Charm pantograph from Willow Leaf Studio.
