Pillow!

I finished my pillow. I appreciate your ideas for finishing it. I did go to Joann craft store to look at the pom pom trim but I did not see any colors that I liked. I did see some trim that was a little lacy that I used and I also made some piping which was also suggested. You can click on it to enlarge it.
The pillow was photographed in Karen Gray's Shop. I hope to teach beginner applique in January using this pattern I created.
Here are some more photos from her charming shop. These little fabric birds were perched over head on some pipes.The wall hanging that you see is one that I did for her to keep in her shop.
Colorful fabrics...
Lovely quilts.
With Passion,
Carrie P.

Very nice, Carrie. You did a good job on that pillow, and I think it will attract beginner appliquer's interest. It looks like you'll be teaching in a very pretty shop.

cute pillow!

and its a lovely shop, thanks for sharing photos, the birds are really cool and i always love to look at bolts of fabric on shelves in a shop, even if it's just a photo.

Linda said...

Your pillow is darling! I love the pattern. You make an amazing teacher. Wish I lived closer so I could take the class too. The shop looks very pretty. The little birds are too cute.

Allie said...

How darling is that - I LOVE the trim you used, it's perfect and adds the right amount of whimsy! That's going to be a popular class, Carrie. I wish I could come take the class - I'm stuck with machine applique and would love to learn needleturn. But since my fingers don't work as well as they used to, maybe it would be futile.

That's a lovely shop - the small quilt on the wall is darling!

Janet said...

And very cool about you teaching an applique class. You do such lovely work. The shop looks so inviting too. :-)

Oh, I wish I could take your classes!!! What a lovely project to begin with.
Love those birdies on the pipe.

KaHolly said...

Carrie, I wish I lived nearby so I could take your applique class. I try and I try, but I really need to learn applique hands-on! Love, love, love your pillow. ~karen
