Ok I'm coming to the pj party, just cleared it with DH, no grandkids tonight. My grandaughter and DIL were here this morning and we made a halloween costume.
I'm bringing some Bohemian Apple Strudel. I made it this morning early. I hope it tastes ok.
I think I'm going to make my block with 2 colors and maybe a center fussy cut. Will that work? Better get the homework done so I'll be prepared tonight only 2 1/2 hours to get r done.

DH wants supper now, so I'll be ready at 7pm. I have all the pieces cut, marked and snipped--Hope I did it right. See you all later. Pat

The apple pie looks delicious!

Boheiam apple studel???? Picture? Will look foward to seeing what you fussy cut.

Strudel recipe from my MIL. she got it from her mother so it has a lot of history and memories for DH.shhhh don't tell that I'm sharing. It is a pastry with sliced apples, cinnamon,sugar, raisens for the filling in a pastry (pie) type dough.

Patty, that looks good too! I like the plate too.

Thanks for sharing the pineapple instructions, it looks so cool! Sorry I couldn't make it to the party last night, I've got four little art quilts I HAVE to finish up before the 3rd so I'm trying to be good & focus, lol. I can't wait to try out this technique!

Ok, here is mine. It still needs to be pressed.

This morning I showed DH my block and explained the process. And the basics of paper piecing the same block. He was very complimentary on the new process and commented that even in woodworking sometimes there can be more than one way to accomplish the same end results.

I told him that there's no way I would PP this block, but this technique - I can see it eating up all those bits and pieces in my stash.

I was monitoring last night, but couldn't sew then. Thanks for the class, Sew Happy~you were a wonderful teacher.
Here's my block. I like it, but I think the bias edges would bother me on a larger project.

ETA :blush: forgot the photo!
...and I forgot to thank you for the recipe. Looks YUMMY!

What happened to the instructions?

Mountain Laurel, I posted my photo to the pre-pj party thread! OOPS!
Moved the party thread to the top for you.

Mountain Laurel, the directions are on the thread saying "starting now 7:00 Minnesota time". It should be close to this thread now.

I missed the party but I just read all & I am certain I am going to give this one a try very soon. You did a good job with your pictures & instructions. You make this look so easy, you have convinced me that even I could do it. Bravo Sew Happy.

I again finally got around to taking pictures of my Pineapples...SewHappy...thank you so much for teaching this.

Close up

Then my friend saw it and liked it and she made one even prettier

A close up of hers...BTW she did the beautiful quilting on both of these,she is such a natural stippling...

TcMay, those are both very pretty. An excellent block for runners.

BEAUTIFUL!!!

Both look great! Thank you for sharing your pictures and with your friend.

TcMay, those are lovely.

I had to go back and find the thread with the instructions. Here is the link.
