A few months ago, there was an apple core charm swap on the Inklingo list. I hadn’t up until now done anything with them. Now? Well, now they’re separated into a light or dark group and I’ve started stitching them together.
Although I plan to use the pieces as they come up in the two stacks and not try to colour coordinate them in any way, the first two pieces have some red in common. I don’t know how large this will become or if I’m perhaps going to do a couple of small quilts, but at least I’m piecing — and some curved piecing at that, which I love!
It looked like it was going to rain on and off throughout the day Tuesday, but it didn’t. We’re finally getting some heat and humidity. Now, if only the rain would stop! We’re supposed to have more today and then again on Friday.
Lester on the couch:
And Smudge stretched out beside Mr. Quilt Obsession. Smudge likes whoever he’s beside to stay put. In order to make sure that happens, he drapes a paw over and, if someone tries to move, the claws come out gently – just enough to remind us that he’s comfortable and we shouldn’t move!

Mmm, love those apple cores. I should like to make one some day. Great shot of Lester and how C-U-T-E about Smudge. Sooo, cute.

I can't wait to see your progress on your apple cores. But don't over do it! What a cute picture of Smudge. Cats really do let you know who is boss.

putting the apple cores together as they come up will make your project beautifully scrappy…isn't it funny how difficult it is to "just be random"? mr. obsession has the two things men love most in the pic…their faithful companion and their remote control! lol…☺

I like curve piecing too. At least you have something to work on until you can get back to the POTC project.It's nice how Smudge has gotten his humans so well trained that it only takes a gentle poke with the claws to keep you in line LOL.Crispy

Love the way Smudge makes sure you stay put. Stan does that aswell but he does it by trapping you underneath him. that way you have no chance of moving. Love and hugs Gina xxx

I'm not familiar with Inklingo, Cathi. Are the pieces assembled like like the English paper piecing method used for hexagons in a GFG quilt?The shapes certainly will make an interesting quilt, especially if they're randomly pieced.

Have fun putting them together. Knowing you, tomorrow they will be put together and ready to quilt.

Isn't that funny how they think their claws will hold us if they dig hard enough! I love that. Those apple cores are beautiful.

Hi Cathi,It's great to see that you are taking time out from stitching to indulge in your other love! 😉 Just out of curiosity, do you have to curve the seam when you do curve-piecing by hand?

I love when you show your apple core quilts. Did you ever finish the black and white with a touch of red one?
