Finished and ready to hang in the shop. I used a variety of fabrics. Most of the applique pieces were from Portobello Road by RJR fabrics which was from a charm pack that I won from Tracy way back in June. The border and flower pot are from Monaco by Dena for Free Spirit.
I will be teaching beginning applique using this pattern by Susan Brubaker Knapp. Check out her blog sometime. She is so talented and she has a new applique book coming out in October. Several year ago she was a guest speaker at our guild. She had one great trunk show too. I bought this pattern then and have been wanting to make this quilt and finally decided to make it. I am very please at the way it turned out too.
Sweet Gina did the machine quilting for me. She is also going to be teaching classes at Karen Gray's shop. Thanks so much Gina! I just found out she has a blog. She is very talented and her blog is a great read too.
With Passion,
Carrie P.

Hi, Carrie,
Thanks so much for featuring my pattern on your blog and for linking to my blog! I designed this pattern to teach beginning needleturn applique; it has all the basic shapes, curves and points you need to learn. I absolutely adore the fabrics you used in your version of my "Spring Valentine" pattern. It is darling. I hope you get a bunch of people signing up for your class. I'd love to see what your students turn out! Tell them to send me photos. It is very fun to see how people take my patterns and make them their own.

Carrie, oh my gosh, that is beautiful. What a shame you live so far away, I would be joining into that class you are taking. Love it to bits.
Such a sweet applique pattern. I envy those in your class. They will be having so much fun.
Darling!! I particularly love the pink diamond border, wonderful choice for the piece!
I would love to take your class, I've been hand appliquéing for a few years, but one can always learn something new and, more importantly, it would be a fun time to hang out with you!
just beautiful
its going to be a great class, wish I could take it as well!
