I have decided to join the group at the 2009 Step by Step Stitchalong. I found this blog through a series of links starting with I don't remember who. Anyway, I figure this is what I need to do to finish my unfinished Apple Bowl Cross Stitch project. I don't remember exactly when I started this. But I started it after I moved to where we now live and we have been here 6 years. So it was sometime since we moved here. I have started an apple theme in my kitchen and there is a wall where this would look awesome. But I need to finish it to have it look awesome there. Right? So here goes.
This picture shows how far I am currently. This part is the bowl.

This picture is what is it is supposed to look like when I finish it. I will probably want to frame it similiar to the way it is framed here. But that is yet to be seen.

This is where I found the pattern. This magazine was in my godmother's things. I am glad I kept it. This is the July/August 1992 issue. Which means this issue is going on to be 17 years old! Whoa! I can't believe it is that old already. There are other things I would like to make in this issue too. Maybe.

I love it! I wish my eyes would allow me to do this again. I love stitching.
I'm so glad that your getting back to doing your apple bowl picture. I remember when you decided to start doing that, although I don't remember the date, Sorry! But I'm glad that you're getting around to it. It will look very awesome when it is finished. Can't wait to see pics of it!
Getting my WIP done is one of my goals for this year. No new projects until the old ones are done.

I see you do like apples, this is darling. I have some old issues of Cross Stitch magazine too. The patterns are timeless.
