Newbie & Happy Crafter
Hello I am from Missouri (mid-state). Came across this site today while searching for a place to give away items I come across while cleaning out my craft room. Several years ago, someone gave me a bag of scrappy "apple cores", I counted today and there are 145. I won't ever use them, WAY to many curves for me. The fabric pieces are OLD, I think they may have come from an old estate sale. One set of 145 up for grab, I will also post this in the Free Offers & Donation section, first come. Looking forward to being a part of this board.

Hello and thank you - your post reminded me that I've had a ton of apple cores cut for years.
I actually started sewing some of them on my machine, but I think I was doing it wrong - I think you're supposed to leave ¼" at each end of a seam, to allow the next piece to be sewn on.
I dragged out the bag and I'll take it downstairs to do by hand while I'm watching tv. Thanks for the reminder and welcome to the board.

One more Michigan Welcome. I am sure you will find a home for your apple cores among the QB members.Someone out there in QB land will adore them and be over joyed that they don't have to cut out 145 cores!
