Read MoreAn Apple a Day…
Hello everyone, Don’t you just love this new pattern, A is for Apple? The alphabet around the outside has got me sold. Now, if you enjoy applique, you could certainly make this as is, but I would much rather piece than applique, so I am on the search to find the perfect 12″ pieced block […]
