Apple Pie anyone

Just picked the apple on the left. The one on the right is a 'normal' size apple. I think one
apple is all that is required for apple pie tonight! It weighs 1/2 kg.

I bought the tree as the variety name appealed to me - it is a 'Peasgood Nonsuch' an old English heritage apple. Only the English could come up woith a name like that! No offence intended Aurely.

our wee trip

I forgot to put this photo on my blog. Looking forward to taking you other sisters that couldn't make it.

My Golly Project

My golly project is now ready for appliqueing. Decisions, decisions should I hand blanket stitch or go the fast way and machine applique. Boy oh boy some of the pieces are very small. What do my fellow sisters think?

I assure you all the photo makes the piece look much bigger than it is!!

Needle Case

A wee project finished.
A Gailpan needle case design from my favourite shop!!!

The Giving Quilt

I have just finished reading the latest  novel in the Elm Creek series. A great read. At present the book is 'under the counter' at our favourite patchwork shop. First in first served, you are all welcome to borrow the book before it goes into the Country Yard library. Kerryn suggests a little bribery might be required to be the first to borrow!!

Leaders and Enders

Thank you Raewyn for inspiring me to learn about leaders and Enders and thank you Leeanne for being a patient teacher. I took your advise Raewyn! My challenge now is which is the main project and which a the leaders and Enders project. It is great to be re-aquainted with my sewing machine.

Hope you are all having a good day, hugs Barb
