Today I started machine quilting the apple core quilt.
I am using an allover apple, feather and echoing design.
I drew out a couple of options before I decided which one I liked.
I am using an apple design I cut out of cardboard to trace around, so that the apples are consistent, but the rest of the designs are free hand.
This is the flannel back - I am also adding some free hand apple cores. The batting is wool, and I am using a copper coloured Aurifil thread in the top and bobbin.
When I have finished the quilt I will post a tutorial on how I made it - so there will be more details later.
The rain has stopped so I managed to get a bit of planting done today.
More tulips - just because I love the colours of these ones.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!♥
