Here are some photos of the details on the blocks. Jill, a lady from my quilt guild, did the quilting on her home sewing machine. She did a fantastic job on the quilt. Thanks, Jill.
Here is the back of the quilt. I decided to use every bit of the fabric I had from the line to make the back of the quilt.
I also wanted to thank Michelle at The Desert Quilter for this award she bestowed on me. I am always honored when I get one of these blogger awards. You know there are rules for these awards and I always have to break them because I just can not pick 15 bloggers from my list to give this award to. You all deserve the award that is why I read your blogs.
I am supposed to tell seven things about myself. I am just going to tell you one thing about me. I am not a big "sweets" eater anymore. I used to be horrible about eating chocolate a lot. No more. Two things that I love that are sweet though is Good Ole' Southern Sweet Tea and Edy's Espresso Chip Ice Cream. I don't eat the ice cream much but I do drink the tea and I guess it satisfies my sweet tooth just right.With Passion,
Carrie P.

Your blocks are lovely, Carrie and Jill did a fantastic job quilting it for you. I love all the detail.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Carrie! Your interpretation gives it a completely different look.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt, Carrie. The fabrics you used give it an unique look. Your friend did a wonderful job of the quilting. Thanks for sharing your photos with us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful quilt--Jenny's creative patterns, your lovely stiching and sewing, and Jill's pretty quilting. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI think it turned out just lovely. I downloaded the patterns but never did anything with them.
ReplyDeleteOh, the quilt is wonderful! Changing the 'flavor' of the fabric really makes a difference.
ReplyDeleteOF COURSE I have the patterns all ready to go (even have the fabric!) but nothing's been started. :-)
Looks fabulous in the retro fabrics, such beautiful stitching too, Carrie!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou did such a beautiful job on this quilt. Your stitcheries are perfect!
ReplyDeleteYour Shabby Roses quilt is just gorgeous Carrie! I love the fabric you used with it - perfect colors! For you I hope!!??
ReplyDeleteCarrie - this is beautiful. I love the 'Carrie touch' you added to the quilt. Great work!
ReplyDeleteHugs - Marie
Carrie it is just fabulous! I love the colors, very retro - this is just wonderful. I love that you pieced the back too, with the leftovers. The quilting is beautifully done. Excellent job!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your award too - you deserve every one you get!
Such delicate stitches. I'm in awe of people who can do that. Simply lovely. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat Jenny is just a talented gem, isn't she? And she's the nicest person too. You beautifully interpreted Shabby Roses, and your quilter did a great job. Stitchery blocks aren't easy to quilt! It's a lovely, lovely piece. You can be very proud of it.
ReplyDeleteOh Carrie, it's gorgeous! I have downloaded some of Jenny's great patterns but trying to find the time to stitch them is the problem! One day...one day...
ReplyDeleteOh Carrie what a gorgeous quilt. What beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteOh Carrie what a super job, I love the quilt and the back, the quilting is beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteHmm, I will never be able to stop eating chocolate, good for my heart!!
Great job it's way cute!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt Carrie!! I love your retro fabrics for this quilt, much more striking IMHO :0)

I remember the blocks, the quilt looks wonderful, congratulations on such a great finish.
ReplyDeleteYou quilt is lovely Carrie!! It's fun to see it in another colorway.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt! Great sewing, quilting, design, and fabrics. Congratulations to all.
ReplyDeleteOh how pretty--you did a beautiful job on Jenny's bom!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is funny--I am working on finishing the last of those bom blocks now that her other one for this year is done--and this time I got the top all put together and basted!!!!
I also don't really eat much in the line of sweets---maybe it is because we are already soooo "sweet"!!!!
Hugs, Di
Love, love , love it!!! You've taken it to a whole new place with your fabric choice and it's absolutely DELISH!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for thinking my designs were worthy to sew, Carrie. I am very honored and so blessed to see how beautifully it translated from one mind to another.
Hugs
Jenny

Carrie...your stitching is perfect and I really love the quilt. I'm also very impressed by the machine quilting and your fabric choices.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely Shabby Roses quilt! I love your version, after all those pink ones. Very very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about your quilt, Carrie! And to think it was quilted on a home sewing machine - beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Every line that Sandy Gervias puts out makes me smile. YOUR work compliments her fabric. And your back is just another compliment to your beautiful quilt front.
ReplyDeletehugs.
Thank you for sharing the photos of your gorgeous quilt. What a fabulous blog - I'll be back.
ReplyDeleteCarrie,
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! Do you use back stitches for your stitchery, or stem stitches?
Retro Roses turned out beautifully! I love that you were able to make use of all the scraps on the back too.
ReplyDeletePretty. :0) Congrats on being the GO winner.
