Apples Galore

It's apple picking time!

My sister-in-law gave me a whole bunch of apples yesterday. She picked about 17 dozen from the one tree. The apples on the other tree aren't quite ready for picking yet. They are still a bit small and not quite ripe.

So to celebrate apples, you will find a few links below with free apple pattern!
Enjoy!!!

September Fruit

September 19th. and it was 25C and sunny in my back garden! YAH!!!! Of course I was outside and took a few photos too.  Here's the fruit in the backyard. Just love the colours, The cluster of Dog Berries would translate nicely into an embroidery piece. I must have a look at my threads . . .

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Iris Folding

Last evening at Eastern Edge Quilt Guild, the program was Iris Folding. This technique originated in Holland. It is called iris folding because the center of the design resembles the iris of a camera or eye. Traditionally, origami paper is used for the main design and holographic paper is used to fill in the center. Fabric was used in our project.

The quilter, who demonstrated this technique, was very well prepared and had all the fabric strips cut and folded for each person. Thanks Sheila! It was a great project.

There are lots of free patterns on the Iris Folding web site. I think I just might make a few more using some of my batik fabrics! Here are the apples completed at my table. Mine is the green one on top.
