Anyone for an apple core?

You know, I really should be working on putting the binding on my hexagon quilt and borders on my Scrappy Mountain Majesties and Granddaughter's Garden and finishing up a couple of secret projects ....
.... but .... no .... I just had to start making this apple core project.  It was yelling at me to start it and, what the heck, I just need to make the quilts that my heart tells me to. 

Well, it got started and I'm loving this pattern and it really is quite easy to do.  It is not intimidating after all!   I'm not sure how big it will be as the fabrics that are being used is just a fat eighth package and some strips and charms, plus my shirting fabrics that was in my stash.
To help me not run out of fabrics and to have an even overall look, I will divvy up my pieces as I showed in this post

If anyone is looking for me .... well, you know where to look!  :o)

Have a great day!

Granddaughter's Garden

While in the process of trying to get measurements for this top to make the borders, Miss Ashes decided that she wanted to check out the underside of this top.
Around and around in a circle she went .... until we decided to entice her out with some treats.
Now ... where are those treats?
She found them.
Then decided to settle down for a nap.
Did I ever get those measurements?  Yes and those borders are next to get done.  Stay tuned for a follow-up post.

Have a great day!

Starring ....

Another section of stars got appliqued and joined to the other two sections.  I really do love this version of Bonnie Hunter's Scrappy Mountain Majesties, but it is kind of busy.  Too late now to switch back.

Now, the last section is ready to go.  All the stars and beige circles have all been prepped.
 One star has been done .... only 5 more to do.
Last, but very important, recently a number of quilters' blogs were affected by a pirate site that had our recent posts on it but no link back to our site.  My blog was affected.  Thieves!  Since then, I have noticed a few of my favourite blogs are now gone.  They post no more.  So, I will be checking daily to see if another site springs up with my stolen posts and if they do, then my blog will be deleted.  I'm tired of the theft and the stupid emails.

The host provider of the pirate site was contacted and the site got shut down.  Sadly, they will pop up again on another provider and the cycle will start all over again. 

Another blogger figured out how this happened and has warned us what to be on the lookout for.  You know, for me, it was a lovely sweet email asking permission to link a certain post or quilt onto their blog.  Going forward, if anyone sends me this kind of email, I won't be replying to it .... period.

This just makes me very sad as it has turned me from a sharing type of blogger to one that doesn't trust easily now.

It was only encouragement from my friends that prompted me to post again.  Only just.  

Below is what will appear on all my posts from now on.

I need to shake off the negativity and have a happy stitching day!
