I thought I'd share what my day is like...
I'm quilting AS MUCH AS I CAN of my "Red Apple Lane" today...
and putting on the binding
I think it will be SUPER.. but I may not get a photo to show you until next week as I'm off tomorrow to teach in NJ after some morning appointments.
this is what "Red Apple Lane" looks like...
but better...
MUCH better.. with quilting
oh.. and in REAL fabric.. wink!
Be sure have your quilt shop order the patterns AND my fabric line!!
ps.... if you see a crazed woman looking for coffee
it will be me... be kind...












Such fun looking at each space. Love the polka dot bike.

That quilt is amazing! I'm so impressed! How do you have time for Quilt Market craziness when you aren't even home??? You must be super quilter who gets ready in half the time as the rest of us. Can't wait to see the quilt next week.

This is all applique, no panels. So you can do with my fabrics or others.. loads of creative options!

Pat, I love this quilt. Will it be a new appliqué pattern or is it panels?

What an adorable quilt to hang in the kitchen can hardly wait to see it made up. Slow down and take a breath you will make it you do every year. Blessings Sandra

This quilt is gorgeous! Noticed that you are sewing on a Janome. Did you retire your Bernina for a new machine, Pat?

I love it and will HAVE to make it! Love the head of lettuce in the top photo and the purple gloves in the complete picture!

Very nice.Are you quilting that on a regular sewing machine?! I am impressed.I bought a book of yours on machine quilting from Leisure Arts.It was published a few years ago and I am trying to learn to improve my machine quilting skills on my regular Janome machine that my husband bought me in 2008. Will keep practicing!

Very colorful. Really has a sweet vintage look to me and I love it. Makes me think of my mom and summer and ripe tomatoes, rhubarb......and gooseberry pie. Yum!
