SplittingStitches Longarm Quilting: June

June brings another great batch of wonderful quilts. All sorts of color, design and styles. I had tons of fun working with each and every one. Let's move on and see the fabulous job the gals did this month.

The first two quilts are from Dorothy in WA. Stepping a little out her usual color zone with the first quilt, we used an old fashion lightly floral design for the quilting. Her second red and gold quilt was quilted using a light paisley in a bit more of a modern design.

Karen blew me out of the water with her quilts this month. The red, gray and black star was absolutely stunning. I selected a simple swirl design that gives the quilt lots of texture and movement. Her second quilt was also a star design, I opted for a lighter open paisley quilting design. With the adorable animal prints on her next quilt it just had to have little paw prints for the quilting. Her last quilt I selected a more traditional yet elegant design for the quilting. All quilts finished off beautifully!

Abi's made this beautiful quilt as a wedding gift for a friend. The traditional Log Cabin block pieced using modern fabrics called for a more modern quilting design. Fun elongated loops was perfect for the new young couple.

Great job, Abi.

Swinging back to more traditional fabrics is this quilt from Andrea. I love the simplicity of this quilt! We selected a light quilting design to finished this one off fabulously!

Ruth Ann is back this month with another quilt for another one of her grandsons. LOVE the blues, but blue is my color! Ruth Ann did a great job with the piecing making my job a breeze. We opted for a bit of a more modern quilting design for this one and it was just perfect!

I worked with Diane on this great fall wall hanging she made from felted

wool. The dimension on this piece is incredible! Lightly custom quilted

was the way to go for this piece.

Here's another wedding quilt for me this month. This quilt was made by

Loretta Jo and her daughter Chenoa. The vibrant colors of the fabrics made a stunning stack n' whack sends this quilt over the top! Black was an excellent color to really make the blocks pop and really makes the blocks on the borders stand out. Fabulous work!

It's never to soon to start working on those Christmas quilts! Peggy in NC got an early start with this fun Christmas tree quilt, it was of course quilted using a snowflake design. Then she switches gears and included this adorable butterfly quilt for me to work with. Peggy wanted a totally modern quilting design, wavy lines was the way to go.

New quilter Cathy made this terrific quilt for her first project. Love the color selection and the accent of burgundy on this lap quilt. Keeping the quilting light and modern was excellent for the finish.

Here's a sofa quilt that Bev here in NH made for her brother. Bev constructed this top using the silk ties that belonged to their father. What a wonderful remembrance for them to have. Finishing it off with a modern geometric design finished this off perfectly!

Michelle is back again this month! A beautiful Trip Around the World using deep burgundy and creams which just had to have a more traditional quilting design. She also finished off this super warm, scrappy, fun flannel quilt and wanted a fun funky quilting design.

Ardy kept me busy for a while in June! Up first I have a beautiful purple butterfly print that just called for a butterfly quilting design. Next is a very cool flannel quilt in warm colors that is amazingly soft! The weave fabric design is very cool! Lastly is a round table topper, amazing!

Camille did some pretty spectacular quilting this month as well! She and Ardy are quilting friends and work on projects at the same time! What fun is that?! Someone to bounce ideas and fabric selections? Someone to encourage you through the project and celebrate the finishes! Here's a few photos of what Camille brought me. LOVE these table toppers the ladies did! I didn't get a photo of Camille's flannel quilt, it did look just like Ardy's but with a different backing and different quilting.
