apple core mini


hiyall,

As promise, a picture of my applecore mini I made 2 years ago during my lunch hour at work. Sometimes I refer to my lunch hour minis as 'the hour of therapy power' When I sit down to eat, it usually only takes about 15 mins to wolf it down. ok...that gives me at least another 30 mins to do something. what to do? hmmmm......that is enough time to so some hand sewing! right now I have 2 kits in my locker. One is a drunkard path(blocks are 2 inch) and the other one is a Churn Dash(blocks are 3 inch). I alternate working on each. The applecore took about 4 months working off and on. I didnt use any batting and use the birthing method instead of layering and binding. I did enter it in the local county fair called the Peanut Fest and won 2nd place! It may have won first if I had used batting and binding. I couldnt see my patience being push that far on curved binding. enjoy!

Keep On Stitchn' On!
