Our first apples.  They WILL amount to something!

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.

Apple Tree From Seed 2003

A seed from a Granny Smith apple eaten by our son in 2003 was sowed. This is the first time we have seen so many blossoms. Hope it bears fruit.

This Pic's For Elaine!

Here you go, Elaine!  This pic's for you!! (when I complete the edge of green hexagons I can buy fabric for the back - that will take   f o r e v e r   to decide)

Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt (as of today)

The row of different fabrics around the outer edge is complete.  Up next: one row white, one row green, and then I will snip the basting stitches to get the English paper pieces out.
