You have heard us often talk about the many uses for our applique blocks… that’s why we create so many of them. We’ve talked about enlarging them, reducing them, turning them into wood, stuffies, stencils or cross stitch.

I was going to start this post talking about how much I love fall, but I’ve already said that… many times. Instead, I’m just going to introduce our Apple Applique Block, tell you I made it to fit a 6″ x 6″ block, and remind you that you can enlarge or reduce the pattern to …

It’s fall and that means a trip… nay… many trips to our local apple orchard. Actually, we are very fortunate, in our area there are several apple orchards and cider mills to choose from. My son Drew, and his wife Meghan, moved to Wisconsin a few years ago and have been searching high and low for a true, …
