Curvy Apples


Trying to make good on a promise,
that took a little longer to make
 than expected.

My younger daughter wanted
 a tablerunner for her desk. 

 

I adore the apple core block. 
I don't adore making it.
I admire people who do.

Here's my
because it makes 
curves
 actually pleasant.

Put a little glue along the edge.
Place the fabric where you want it,
if you're off, 
you can pull it up and try again. 


When you have it right, 
just run your iron over it.  
It's stays in place and 
is ready to sew.

 

Beautiful 
curves!

 

What do you think of
the fabrics?

They are a little random, but... 


they match pretty perfectly to her room.


Just have to
 finish it!

  1. I love apple core block too, but have never tried to make it. I think the random fabrics are great! Also, your daughter's room is *so* colorful--very cheerful and fun!

  4. It's gorgeous! And I love the glue idea, I might have to pull out my cut-out-but-not-yet-sewn apple core quilt and give it a try!

    I was looking at the curves presser foot, but this might be better.
    How does it do in the machine and is is ok on the needles?
    My machine goes w
    onky if anything gets in the bobbin area, so hate to gunk it up.

  10. Looks great! Thanks for talking about the glue. So you can sew right through the glue?

  11. I try to put the glue at the edge of the fabric, so I'm not sewing over it, but I'm sure I do sew over some. I've gone over it with my iron before I sew it. I haven't had a problem with it at all.
