Apple Upside Down Cake from From My Carolina Home

I promised this recipe to you in September, then never got to it as Autumn Jubilee took over the blog for a month. Before the harvest season is over, I wanted to share it, although we can usually find apples year round. Living in an apple growing county, we think of this as a fall thing. Anyway, I created this recipe for entry in the Mountain State Fair, and it won a ribbon. It is delicious as a dessert, but My Sweet Babboo polished it off over a few days for breakfast. I think it might make a lovely addition ...

"Apple in a Thicket" - Mounted Art Quilt from Linda's Art Quilts

Just turned this up in one of my "unfinished objects" trunks.  It is a 12”square art quilt with hand painted apple surrounded by heat altered Tyvek snippets in my stash of to-do works. The apple was finished with a layer of very high gloss acrylic medium. The dimensionality the gloss provides is not apparent in the photo.  At first I thought that I would finish it with a hanging sleeve and label; however, I changed my mind and am going to mount it on a stretched canvas.
Always remember, never fear to experiment.  
Sometimes wonderful things happen.
