Here’s a quilt project that’s a cutie.  It’s a table topper of apples and jars of applesauce that is both hand and machine quilted.  Emily made this for her mom’s table in remembrance of their family picking local apples and making applesauce.  The colors are remarkably accurate for the pink applesauce and were chosen by her keen eyed husband.

Since the project was small, Emily decided to incorporate hand quilting for the diagonal lattice pattern, giving it charm.  The long arm was used to quilt the borders.  Note the hand embroidered apple stems on the quilted table runner.
