I finished the apple core table runner (the binding took a long time to stitch down).
It is 52" x 16". It took a 20" square of fabric for the bias binding. I am so glad that I had posted a tutorial for Apple Cores, because I sure needed it for this project. You may think my tutorials are for you, but they are really for me to refer to!
Close up of the quilting - it was inspired by one of the fabrics Cotton batting, and Invisafil thread on top, Aurifil in the bobbin, with a #70 Microtex needle.
The appliqué is an original design. I do have a PDF for the appliqué pattern. If you would like a copy, you can email me (link here) and I will forward it to you. I am still working out how to post PDF's.
I used 33 Apple Cores cut with the GO!, but the appliqué design would work on anything.
I really like appliqué on a "monochromatic" pieced background. Here is another example of one I made-
This stool cover is made using a Tri-Recs ruler (there are more details here), and the quilting design is based on a design from Ivory Spring (Bird Feather Quilting Motif).
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!♥

Beautiful!!
I can't even imagine sewing that curvy binding! Looks great. Really love the stool cover - it would be hard to sit on something so beautiful!
They are simply gorgeous, I particularly love your apple core runner! I have the apple core die and have cut the bits out for a (large) quilt but it seems overwhelming, I think I need to start with something more this size!
Using the apple cores pieces as a background for applique is a great idea. Well done.
Very cute!
Beautiful table runner and it has inspired me to dig out my apple core project. Take care.
The apple core table runner is just lovely, and the applique is perfect for it.
Lovely - I know now why I borrowed the GoBaby and the applecore die from work today!!! Looking forward to having a play :-)

Wow! It's gorgeous!
Your apple core table runner is gorgeous! That curvy binding looks fantastic, but what a ton of work to attach. You did a lovely job. Your free motion quilting is lovely. Well done!
Joanne, my DH is making an apple core quilt; we didn't see your tutorial until today. He's got 9 rows done. How can he make it look as awesome as your tablerunner? Can you please explain why you pull out the stitches in the center?
I love your blog! Your quilts are so perfect looking.
