Appleberry Quilts

Appleberry Quilts No longer accepting new clients, but I will continue to post my quilt pics here as FB allows. February 10, 2023, I finished my last client quilt. I LOVE IT.

It marks only the second or third time since I started business in January 2006 that I have been without a client quilt to work on. And, do you know what? While doing this quilt, I came to realize that it needs to be the last client quilt I do. It has been a great run of 17 years. However, quilting for others has been work of late, rather than fun, and I have found myself postponing doing that wor

k; my own projects awaiting quilting are growing by leaps and bounds; grandchild #14 will arrive in March; and, time is short! All of these reasons say that it is time to completely cease. I turned 62 in November. No one knows how much time he or she has, but one thing I do know – it is less each day, and should I be granted long life, and good quality of life, that time is still very short, and even shorter should the rapture occur! I want my remaining time in this life to be lived for what matters. I want to be serving my Lord, building into the lives of my grandchildren, and encouraging others along the way. I have been doing that a good bit these last few years, but I have always felt as though I had a chain – a responsibility – to my clients and to doing work for them. I have had some wonderful clients/friends in the quilting world who have appreciated and understood my life-priorities, but it is not fair for them to have to wait months for me to do a quilt for them. It is best if I just don’t take in any more. Will I still quilt? Absolutely!!! But, on my terms, in my down-times, and for my own pleasure! Blessings, Dwynette

There is a color that I think, literally makes my heart sing. Hard-pressed to describe it, I have come up with "pumpkin-peach." Not really orange, not really pink, apricot-ish, often fall-ish in tone, with maybe a golden brownish tint, and not unlike the tones you might see on the outside of a ripe peach. I used to say it was the color of the inside of a pumpkin, but that isn't quite right, either, since those colors vary, and are often too orange or washed-out brownish yellow. But, while difficult to describe, when I see it, often it feels like my heart does a summersault. Am I the only one who has such a reaction to a specific color?

Well this quilt is under my needle today, and it is chocked full of fabrics that make my heart sing! (I have been collecting for quite some time, and afraid to waste them, but now, I am on a roll! 2 made, and ideas for at least one more!!!)

These 12 quilts were all made from the same stack of shirts! It was a personal challenge and a lot of fun!!! There are imperfections, but, in this case, that is ok. There are full, twin, and extra-long twin quilts in the stack, along with one wall/throw/crib size.

Such fun making these quilts from a stack of shirts! One of them would ruin my reputation as a quilter if I were still in business, but hubby and everyone else I have asked, tell me not to fix it. :(
Can you find the "glaring" error?

Which is your favorite?
