Ta Da!

The top has officially been stitched as of just after midnight this morning.  It's been about a year. I will go through these posts and see exactly when I started the project. This morning I bought batting and a backing that is a white background with green polka dots.  I knew I wanted a simple fabric pattern for the backing and what I found will fit the bill.

This is what the back looks like.  Today's project is to snip away all the basting stitches and gather up all the hexagon English paper pieces.

It IS bearing fruit!

While giving our son's apple tree a good watering this morning, I noticed a whole lot of apples in the making on his tree.  How exciting!  It has taken 11 or 12 years for this to happen.  Now to keep the critters away.
