apple cores...wip!

Today has been a work in progress day. I had started cutting some apple cores a little while back but they got set aside. I always have too many projects I want to do at one time!!  I pulled them out today, cut some more and did a little stitching. I'd never done curves so it was fun to work with these. Hopefully I'll get better as I do more!!


I'm thinking of making a quilt with these, so it will probably be a long wip.  But hey, even if I get them done little by little, at least it will be a lovely quilt in the end...right!?!


They looks so yummy in the breakfast bowl, I could eat them up!!  ;)

 

And of course LOTS of my favorites fabrics!!  I just can't get enough of them!!  :) 


I used an apple core template I had gotten at Joanns and it was pretty easy to cut them! 




Have you ever done curves or apple cores?  Is there any secrets, tips or tricks you know that makes it a bit easier??

 I think I may go sew a few more together now.  :)  See you next week!

    They look adorable. I find the best thing when I am doing curves is to just focus on lining up the fabric right before it goes under my presser foot :)

    I love your fabric selections. I haven't done apple core pieces, but they are on my "endless" list. I always have more projects and ideas than time too. I have a new blog if you want to take a peek. I feel as though I know you from following your blog and your pinterest :)

    These are lovely, I've only ever done straight lines! Did you sew them on the machine or by hand? xxx

    Thanks so much for the sweet comments!!

    Emma, These were sewn on the machine. I've also got some apple core paper pieces that I'm thinking of trying too. :)

    I have made 2 king sized drunkards path quilts, love sewing curves. They are very easy, just match up the ends, and the middle "fluffs" itself into place..the apple cores look great, may have to try one..
