The name of the block doesn’t really lend itself to an August birthday, so I added some fall shades!

I know that Tracie is a quilter so this sewing machine seemed like the right choice for her. I wonder if her machine is this colourful?

I’m running short on options for my cards but I picked this one for Asher. Although the colours in no way reflect an apple tree, they do somewhat match our yard and apple tree; blue for our blue fence, green for the plants growing around the tree, white and orange for the daisies that grow nearby, and the other fabrics just because!

I was late getting it finished and combined with the long weekend she’ll be well past her birthday when it arrives.

I have noticed that the apples on our tree are beginning to ripen.

There was no problem in choosing this pattern for Vicki’s card. She and I have been friends for more than 40 years, having met in Yellowknife when our first-borns were babies.

Many of the fabrics used in the card are pieces from quilting friends and other projects I have made.
