Pine Falls
Deb brought this pretty quilt that she is making for a special little girl in her life. The pattern is from The Blanket Statement and is called Pine Falls. Deb made the front of the quilt and then decided to use the leftovers to piece her backing.
Deb also embroidered a label right onto the backing before she brought it to me.

Serpentine
Cathy brought this fabulous Sea Monster quilt and asked for custom quilting. The pattern is called Serpentine and was designed by Tula Pink and is made with fabrics from her collections. It is available as a free download on Free Spirit fabrics website.
Angela Walters quilted Tula Pink's original quilt and Cathy like they feel of the quilting, but requested for hers to be done less densely.

Year of Scrappy Triangles
Liz brought this striking quilt in for some custom quilting. A few members of my local quilt guild got inspired to do some paper piecing and followed The Year of Scrappy Triangles blog post by Leila Gardunia. https://www.leilagardunia.com/blog/year-of-scrappy-triangles They did it at a faster pace, approximately one per day as time allowed.
The nature of these blocks allow for seemingly endless possibilities for unique layouts. With the layout Liz selected, the black background to the paper pieced triangles became a prominent and interesting feature to the quilt. Liz agreed with my suggestion of using a plum thread across the whole quilt. I added flowing molar feathers to the black bands, lines in the pieced sections for contrast.
