Mystery Autumn Stamp SAL - Stamp 1 A Basket of Apples

Good morning, ya'll and Happy  Friday! What a beautiful day.  

Eeeh! Are you ready for the  the first stamp in the Mystery Autumn Stamp Stitch Along? 

Grab  a cup of tea and a plate of yummy apple dumplings, and let me show you my little stitch. 

It is called  A Basket of Apples.

 I have many fond memories of apple picking as a child . How about you?   In fact my  childhood tree house was in a great big apple tree. My sister and I would love to climb the limbs and pick those tasty treats.

A Basket of Apples  Stamp is a small with a design size of  35 x 35.  I used just 6 floss colors which were 898, 355, 3345, 815, 469, 782. Of course you could use your favorite fall apple colors. 

 I am stitching the stamps as a large piece  and as small dough bowl pinkeeps. 

 

I purchased this dough bowl at the Dollar General Store last year for $6.00. This was the medium sized one. I am not sure what kind of wood it is made of ,but it is very light weight. I look forward to filling it up with fall goodness. 

Sorry for the blurry photo. 

Speaking of fall goodness. My mom makes the most delicious Apple Dumplings. I thought I would share the recipe with you. Let me know how they come out if you decide to make them. She has made them with pears too.

Sometimes I have a number of needles threaded with different floss colors so that I can pick them up quickly and stitch. It certainly  makes the piece go quickly . So I thought I would tell you the floss colors that you will need for tomorrow's stitch in the PREP YOUR NEEDLES. 

PREP YOUR NEEDLES FOR TOMORROW'S   STAMP 2 FLOSS COLORS

898, 310, 3345, 469, 780, and 782 

Let me give you a hint about tomorrow's stitch. It involves one of my favorite birds. If you have followed me for awhile, you know I love several different birdies , but this one comes up quite often in my stitches in one form or another. Can you guess what it is? 😀

Thank you so much for the sweet Friday visit. Have a wonderful and blessed day and as always...

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, ya'll
