whew!

I've decided apple cores are definitely a challenge!!

Now I can say "I did it!"

And I DO like to say that!!

After piecing all those apple cores..

I added a piece of flannel to the back.

By the way.....

I did NOT hand piece this like I thought I would...

Found out...

I can't hand piece!!!

The stitches were way too big and sloppy.

so.....

....I settled for machine piecing and some

seams that don't match.

This will sit on my kitchen table and I KNOW

my family won't care if things match. :)

Right sides together.

Notice the striped flannel??

Woo hoo!!

simple pleasures.

Sew around the edge.

leave an opening.

trim.

Turn right side out.

slip stitch that opening closed.

Voila'!!

There's a better picture of the backing.

Now I'm going to do a little stitching.
My little summer project is almost done.
