How do you like dem apples?
My kids love them! These were from my Nan's tree.
I've continued working on my daughter's quilt, I'm up to four rows so only 2 more, then I need to make binding!
Some of the fabric was given to me by my American cousin (if you're reading I love you and thank you!!). I like mixing the modern prints and the more traditional florals together :) Very girly and cute.

lovely apples and a lovely quilt! so pretty!
You are so lucky to have inherited that tablecloth from your Grandmother!!

Hi Lucy! Visiting from your visit...you are using some of my favorite favorite in this post (Valori Wells...yum). I can't wait to learn more about you and your projects! Consider yourself followed. ;)
Beautiful. All of it! The apples, the quilts, the tablecloth and that tat! :)
That is one wonderful tablecloth! And the apples, it is apple butter time here! Found you at Lily's Quilts SBH, I'm your newest follower, visit me if you can :-)

I have to sew barefoot (or, at most, in socks). I feel like I can't feel/grip the pedal properly otherwise! :)
I'm embroidering one for myself right now. Just got the kit as a birthday present - how gorgeous your gran's work is!
I like to sew bare foot too. I need to feel the pedal foot. Hey, I'm hosting a swap. Come over and check it out. Maybe you can join in. Hugs =--Sandie
