This past Saturday I taught at the Dragonfly Quilt Shop. These photos are the borders that the ladies worked on while I was on vacation. Don't you just love the fabrics they are working with? These borders are from The New Applique Sampler. These borders were done by Patty, Debra, and Flo.
On Wednesday of this week was another day of teaching at Karen Gray Design. This class the ladies worked on making prairie points to trim their embroidered towels. This first towel was made by Paula.
These two were made by Shannon. As you can see she got her points done and sewn on her towel in class.
These two towels were done by Linda. Sorry about the lighting. All the towels are white.
Well done ladies. I am so proud of you all. I even learned some new things from my students. Never to old to learn new things myself.
After class at Karen's I picked up of the newest fabric from the shop. It is called Prince Charming by Tula Pink. This is just a sneak peek of another project that I hope to teach soon.With Passion,
Carrie P.

The first rule of being a great teacher is loving what you do. It's very obvious you do. Your students works is fantastic. Love your new sneak peek. :o)
You are obviously a very good teacher Carrie! Lovely applique.
Can't wait to see what you are making out of Tula's new line of fabric.
Those borders are lovely!! The prairie points are very pretty as well.
I used to play 'teacher' to my dolls who were very good students indeed. I thought I'd be a teacher, too, but ended up being a mom and wife.
Isn't it fun seeing how projects come out different when made by different people? Love the applique
I wanted to be a teacher too - wonder how much that played into our homeschooling?? I think you must be a GREAT teacher Carrie. Your students are creating such loveliness!
Your students work is delightful. Can't wait to see what you do next.
your students are doing a great job. I love the hexies on the tea towels. Definitely makes them look fancy!
It must be rewarding to share your talents and interests with eager students.
The projects look great Carrie.
I can tell that you love to teach and it shows in your students accomplishments.
When I was a kid, I taught school 5 or 6 days a week during the summer. I would watch Ding Dong School (kid's program), then go outside and ring a cowbell. The neighboorhood kids would come running. I had a couple school desks and a few kid's chairs. I made them workbooks and we had crayons & pencils. I taught them as much as I could from what I had learned at real school. One of the neighbor girls that was my age told me in our adult life that she had been jealous of how all the kids wanted to come to my house to play school. I never got to be a real school teacher but sure wanted to be. Just wasn't in the cards.
You were born to be a teacher! Applique flowers are so pretty!! Gorgeous fabric. Love the tea towels too!!
Hey! I finished that same border and posted it on my blog! Funny!
And I homeschooled my kids, too. We really DO have a lot in common.
Nice pictures!
Every one's work came out great! Your love for teaching shines brightly in your student's achievements! I have a beginner quilter student right now and what fun we are having!!
Your students are making beautiful projects. It's obvious that you are inspiring them Carrie :0)
Crispy
Wow, those borders are awesome as well as the points on the towels. Your a great person for being so sharing and home-schooled too? Wow!
I also like the new gadgets to follow by email.
You have some wonderful students. Their work is beautiful! Love the colors they used.
You must be a wonderful teacher, Carrie - just look at your student's work! Love the Tula Pink - I wonder what that will be??
Cheers!
Oh, I think I would love to take an applique class from you! I, too, love to teach and every single quilt class I give teaches ME something.
If only I was in your neck of the world, Carrie. I'd be at every one of your classes! Lessons from a master applique artiste...how much I'd love that. :-)
The Tula Pink fabric is unusual. I like it but haven't been inspired to buy it or use it. I am looking forward to what you create - something wonderful I am sure!

It is so cool that you've found such a great outlet for creativity and teaching! Your students' work is lovely (they really have chosen some gorgeous fabric combinations!). I'd love to take a class from you some day. :)
I wanted to be a Kindergarten teacher when I was in high school. That did not happen, but I did eventually become a Girl Scout Trainer. For fifteen years I taught adults how to be Girl Scout leaders. It was quite rewarding for me.
Very lovely applique pieces your students made.
Wow, those borders are gorgeous Carrie, I see where your students get their inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
What fun! I agree. Sharing this wonderful art with others is just so great!
