Teaching Classes

Look what I have to show you all. Some works from the students in my classes. This first photo was a 6 month BOM that I did with three students. This student finished her top and brought it to the shop when I was teaching on Saturday to show it to me. Check out the rainbow rick rack she is going to add to the top after she quilts it. The pattern is from the New Applique Sampler by Piece O' Cake Designs.
The same student got the four blocks done from a Celtic applique class I taught last month. She has some really great fabrics for her borders too.
This pattern is Celtic Sampler by Rosemary Kurtz. It is so exciting to see this student's finished tops. Well done! Debra!

One day this week I taught two classes back to back. One was the Celtic applique. The above photo is from three students. Interesting choices of fabric for their knots. Below is a photo from a student taking my pinwheel table runner class. The darker green and red are some of her blocks.

These photos are from five students that took my beginning applique class. We met a few weeks ago and they had homework to do. The homework was stems and circles. This past Saturday they made the sunflower, hearts, and baskets. It is always so much fun to see what fabrics each person will use. This pattern is Spring Valentine by Susan Brubaker Knapp. You can see my version up in my header.
Well done ladies! I am so proud of you all. Keep up the good work.
I hope these projects will now inspire you to go do some quilting for a while.

With Passion,
Carrie P.

ps I almost forgot to tell you about this awesome BOM that is from Dorothy Baker's pattern. If you haven't read about it yet you can go here to see the first block on Dorothy's blog that was made by Denise.
