Tomorrow is the first day of school for the kids. I made some patchwork apples for Matthew's teacher and some of my close friends at school. (with a few extra for me)
They were easy to make. I first cut the fabric in random sqaures, rectangles and triangles and then sewed the peices together until I had the size I needed. Then I folded the fabric right sides together and cut out an apple shape.
I sewed down the side and across the bottom and turned it right side out. I gathered the top and then, using a long embroidery needle, thread down through the bottom and then up through the top a time or two to pull the apple in. I used a golf tee for the stem and made a small leaf and tacked it to the top near the stem.
Claire and I made cookies as a thank you to our school secretaries. The first weeks of school are always pure chaos for them and they always manage to stay smiling through it all.

Pouring in the chocolate chips...
And the greatest reward for helping mom... a lick of cookie dough!
