Nope, the shoemaker's elves didn't clean my sewing room while I was in California. When I got back home, I was kinda surprised to see how deep the "stuff" on the cutting counter really is! It piles up so gradually that I don't notice unless I'm away from it for a few days. So I revved up the backhoe and got to work. (just kidding) I uncovered the leftover pieces from my beach quilt. Not that I'm bad at math - I just have to make sure I have lots of choices, so there are always leftovers. Anyone want them?? I even have one seam sewn for you, so your quilt would be almost done!!
Look what else I found - a half finished zipper bag from my Fat Quarter Fonts book. All I had to do was sew the bottom seam and now I have a new bag. I put a big loop on the zipper pull so I can hang it in my locker when I go to the Y to exercise. Hey - doesn't cleaning count as exercise?? It should.
These apple cores may have already been given away, but I had to throw my name in as well! I just returned from a week away and am trying to catch up on all that has been going on in my absence....Have a wonderful day!

I would also like your apple cores, but there are so many ladies who want then. I think I'm too late or not?

I would love to have those. I have been trying to find a template to make that since I saw you post it on your blog last time.

Got to throw my name in the ring. I really like your work. At one point I had made 17 Yellow brick roads.. :) Brought the pattern 3 times. Lost one, gave my replacement to a friend and now the one I have is in a zippy bag because I cut it with the rotary cutter. LOL. I really like your patterns. My Happy Hour book is also very well loved. I should send you pictures of all the goodies you have helped me make! :)
Thanks

Those are so much "my" colors, not sure if my skills are up to the Apple Core level yet, but if gifted a project I would certainly try to rise to the challenge. As always I love to see your designs and color choices!

The Beach Quilt is great. Of course I would take the leftovers! I could use some pieces of the beach as we are still in the midst of cold winter here.
Posted by: Jo Anne | March 12, 2009 at 11:55 AM
Your leftovers are wonderful! I'd be happy to take them off your hands but I see there are several ladies who've already asked for them. Love the new bag too! :0)
Posted by: Terry | March 12, 2009 at 11:15 AM
I would love to have your leftovers. Rightfully, I should just trade you some of mine! My how our stashes grow!

What pretty fabrics! How can you go wrong with blue and green?
It woudl be great to have a take along project, and even better if it has been cut out and ready to go!
If they still need a good home, please consider sending them to NC!

Count me in in the "I'll take them" category. They're so cute!
Posted by: Cheryl S. | March 11, 2009 at 08:31 PM
Oh gee, I suppose Icould learn to do piece work if I had some already cut! Great idea for leftovers. Apple pie....

The curves are not too hard - you just gotta take your time!
Posted by: Terry Atkinson | March 11, 2009 at 07:30 PM
I love how your beach quilt looks. I see several have already asked for the pieces... but I'll throw my name in if you decide to randomly choose! :-)
I can't wait until my LQS get's the Fat Quarter Fonts book. Everything you have embellished with them looks so darling!
Posted by: Ginger | March 11, 2009 at 05:07 PM
Love the apple cores! I have always wanted to piece one. If they are still ripe for the taking, I'm in! I love the little bag. It would be terrific to stash all your cutting tools and gadgets in to take to a quilting class.
Posted by: Jackie | March 11, 2009 at 04:31 PM
Oh, those are so my colors! I'll take 'em.
Posted by: Liz Arbaugh | March 11, 2009 at 03:58 PM
Really? Giving away some apple cores? Are the curves hard to sew?
