I'm just popping in to finally share this fun quilt I finished about a week or two ago. I've been at the very end of a tight deadline (like writing instructions for 10 hours straight-multiple days in a row kind of deadline and I'm finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel! I can't wait to share what I've been working on one of these days :)).
Anyways, you may remember from my last post that I started and finished this quilt, designed by the Miss Lori Holt.
The pattern is from her new book titled, Quilty Fun. And really, it WAS so much fun to make!
Each little apple is made with a different fabric.
And ps., we still have a few kits left at Just Sew.
Call 801-492-7929 if you're interested. They can ship.
I had my quilter use my favorite little swirly design in lieu of a stipple.
Even though my back is so simple, I love it. I loved mixing the two different polka dot prints and it feels good to put some of my leftovers to use.
This scrappy border was really fun to make. Lori's instructions for everything were so perfect and easy to follow. And clever! Man that girl is one smart cookie. I would have never thought to piece it the way she tells you to do it in the book. Clever, I tell ya.
I bound it using Vanessa Christenson's Simply Style green textured print.
It's the perfect quilt for this time of year. I've got a whole box of apples sitting in my garage just begging me to make THIS pie with!
So are you making anything apple-y these days? Do share!
Happy quilting!

ReplyDeletegosh this is cute! love the apple cores.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle! It was really fun to make!

You're so healthy! I can think of a few better things, like apple pie, apple cobbler, carmel apple cheesecake bars...LOL

ReplyDeleteSo fun! The fabrics are all so cute. Love the gingham apples
ReplyDeleteI just love this sweet quilt! I'm enjoying my Quilty Fun book beyond my expectations. I think I might have to make one of these quilts someday to keep for myself. I live in a neighborhood called Apple Hill, so that would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I'm doing her Quilt-along now and made the apples (4 of them only) the first week so it's fun to see a whole orchard of them!
ReplyDeletethis is stunning. a must have. oh the yearning just to order the kit, and the book! but alas, must wait for the new year...

Diane,
I need to do a little catch up on the quilt along. My blocks don't need to be done until the 15th week (or something like that) but I really want to make all the other blocks too! Just gotta finish up this work for my deadline. Soon. Very soon... :)
Have fun!
Amber
Miss Jamee (and anyone else who's interested):
ReplyDeleteIf you order the book and kit through Just Sew (a fabric store in Utah) they will give you 10% off the book price. There phone number is 801-492-7929.
It's worth it too! They give you the exact amount of fabric that you need. If you bought what the material list calls for you end up paying about double.
Books always tell you to buy more than you actually need (to allow for shrinkage and straightening).
The kit is a great price!
Amber
It's gorgeous, I'm jealous! I really want to make that quilt but it will have to wait til the new year! Too busy sewing for Christmas right now.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to make this quilt. It is so fun making the apples.
ReplyDeleteSo Adorable! I hope mine is as cute as yours, I love the kit! Thanks for putting all the pieces together and I love the swirl stitching, great idea!
ReplyDeleteYes it is :) One of the funnest quilts I've made in a while.
ReplyDeleteHope you're doing well Nanette!
Amber

ReplyDeleteAw thanks! I am not the best photographer so I appreciate your kind words!
Happy quilting!

ReplyDeleteI love this! I'm gonna have to make one, too. I did Lori's row along, and am now doing the Quilty Fun sew along. That mitten runner is next on my list... and now I need to add the apples!
ReplyDeleteSo cute and great colors!!
ReplyDeleteSo darling!! Patters writing is the worst!!! Love tin
