. . . row row row four . . .

. . . if you have eagle eyes, 

you might have spotted 

what i was working on 

at quilt group . . .

{that's my empty chair on the upper right}

. . . it was the first chunk of time 

i'd had since row four came out 

a couple of weeks ago . . . 

{when i was otherwise occupied}

. . . apples and cores 

and leaves and stems . . . 

. . . in a nod to animal prints, 

{since my butterflies have cheetah bodies} 

i figured why not 

green zebra striped 

apple leaves? . . . 

. . . i only made two mistakes . . . 

. . . and i'm leaving them both in, 

by cracky! . . .

. . . upside down numbers 

in the granny smith core block . . . 

. . . and the leaf on the right side

 instead of the left 

in one apple block . . . 

. . . oh, well . . .

. . . two places for the evil spirits 

to escape . . . 

. . . right, peg? . . .

. . . here're the first four rows 

all together . . . 

. . . and wouldn't you know it? . . . 

. . . row five is available now . . . 

. . . i'm always running behind . . .
