Last night I got about 30 pieces of fabric ready to print and this morning, as I had my coffee, I printed them all with the little apple core shapes from the new Inklingo collection. I’m making a small black and white with a few accents of red apple core quilt.
Curved piecing is something I absolutely love. So I was really excited when the apple core collection was released yesterday.
I printed one sheet with a darker ink colour than I would normally have chosen so that I could get this picture. With the matching points on the stitching line, putting these apple cores together is going to be pure joy; exactly the type of stitching I need this weekend — simple, mindless fun!! This will be my pick-up project when I just want to stitch something for the pure fun of it.
The snow has begun to fall, it’s quite chilly and I couldn’t be happier! Time to put a good movie on and settle in for some fabulous stitching.
There are worksheets in the new collection as well, so I’ve printed out the 25% size one and will use it to plan the placement of the red apple cores. Once I decide on the placement, I’ll know how many of long-half and short-half cores to print so that I can have a straight edge on the sides.
As usual, while I was printing, Lester was on the windowsill watching the printer. It is so funny to watch him watch it. Then he saw the little notifier icon from my e-mail program jumping up and down at the bottom of the screen and he almost had his nose on the screen. DH is thinking of getting a new Mac. If he does, I’m half tempted to put his older one on a level where Lester could get real close and see if he figures out moving the mouse actually does something.

Hi Cathi, Gill from That British Woman told me to look you up as she says you are as dotty about cats as I am. Lester looks adorable. Both mine, Sootie and Pebbles like nothing better than helping me type. They just love the keyboard. Margaret

I have a cat who likes to turn on the printer! I have come home from work to find the light blinking to add paper (can’t leave any in there or I get a bunch of “printed” pages or he has hit the button to scan and the blasted thing has been scanning for who knows how long. I have put heavy books on top of the printer to cover the buttons but he still manages to turn it on. Go figure. Your Lester looks a lot like my Rocky. Have a recent pic of him and his brother Conway Twitty the Kitty on my blog jansquiltblog.blogspot.com if you’d like to take a look. Could you also let us know how you managed to get your signature to show? I am also on blogger and would like to do that on my blog if you are willing to share the knowledge.Love your blog!

Have fun with the apple cores – I think it will be a very cute little quilt. I love the butterflies you have been working on to go with the stars. Perfect for the 30’s fabric stars. I hope your husband is feeling better now. What is a Cavitron? My hygienist uses some sort of a blasting machine – which I hate — but that is a whole other story -LOL
