I also worked on some squares with apples. I had prepped the squares - white with the grey strip when I brougth home some fabric scraps a while back and had decided to put apples on them. I found a pattern on line, printed it the right size and then cut it out. I traced it onto the back of the red fabric scraps and cut them out. I hand cut the leaves and will add the stem with embroidery when I stitch them up.
I am looking forward to getting started on these!! Therese
