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.

  14. 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!
