Lovely little apples . . .

Ok, so just in case you are wondering - no, I haven't even touched the half-knitted socks since my last post.  But I have not been completely idle on the crafty front this week. 
I have in fact managed to finish the next row of Lori's Row Along over at Bee in my Bonnet.

Row 4 is a delightful array of little apples - ain't it sweet?

There were lots of fiddly little squares to cut out and mark on this row, but once again it was such fun to see the sweet apples and cores all come together.


I love how all four rows that we've done so far, look so pretty and cheery together.  I absolutely can't wait to see how this quilt will turn out when it's finished.  And I love the mystery of waiting to see what each row will be.

So, that's the sewing ticked off my list.  Next up? Yes, you guessed it - those neglected socks ; - )
I thought I'd haul them out and see about finishing them whilst watching Strictly Come Dancing tonight. Wish me luck !

Have a happy weekend,
xoxo

      Thanks Bee - are you a Strictly fan too? There are quite a few good dancers this season, and a couple of rubbish ones too!

    LOL good luck on your socks...if you're like me with you're knitting, once a project goes untouched for that long....it never gets finished!
    I LOVE your quilt...the fact that people have the patience to do all that cutting and sewing amazes me...can't wait to see it finished!
    Enjoy your Sunday,

      Thanks - I tossed up between adding a Golden Delicious or Pink Lady too, but decided I liked the rosy reds and Granny Smith's better :-)
