Tablecloth To get this to fit and hang down evenly,

I used some school maths to help with thepattern.

Paper pattern1. Draw round the tabletop in the centre of a piece of plain paper.2. Measure and mark an angle of 45 anddraw a line from the corner as shown.Diagram 13. Repeat for the other corner and join thelines. Diagram 24. Repeat for the other corners.

Tablecloth1. Either draw round paper pattern ontocloth or pull threads round the edge of thepattern.

it with a pattern. The border was anotherbox on top of this, with the outline changedusing the border option. Finally the applesto go in the border were also made usingshapes - a circle for the apple, a trapezoidthinned for the stalk, an oval for the leaf and the detail added using the curved line. Iused these apple shapes for the table matsand clock and the border for the labels forthe canisters and decoration for the mugs.

TableI made a table so that I could make it

the size I wanted for this box. I used mountboard as it is easy to cut and would be cov-ered by a tablecloth and so left it unpainted.

This was a quick make, about 20 minutesexcluding glue drying time.

1. Cut a rectangle the size needed.2. Draw lines on the cardboard in fromeach long edge and in from each shortedge.3. Glue the spindles into the corners of thelines you marked.4. Cut 4 pieces of card in wide and

The first written mention of the applepie in America was in 1697 whenSamuel Sewall wrote in his diarythat he had been on a picnic and

had eaten Applepy. And many of us knowthe name Johnny Appleseed from singingor saying the grace:

The Lord is good to me, And so I thank the Lord

For giving me the things I need,The sun, the rain and the apple seed.The Lord is good to me.

For every seed that growsWill soon become a tree.

And then there will be apple thereFor everyone in the world to share.The Lord is good to me

Even if we are not quite sure who hewas*. Apple pie has been a favourite dishin America for as long as apples were thereto put into pies. The saying As Americanas apple pie is more modern but stands forsomething typically American. An Americanfriend sent me a copy of a picture of Johnny Appleseed and this was the startingpoint for my box.

WallpaperI decided to make my own wallpaper

using a Word document on the PC. FirstlyI made a large box from shapes and filled

John Chapman was born in Leominster, Massachusetts in 1774.He became known as Johnny Appleseed during his lifetime,through his planting and cultivation of apple orchards. He owned

orchards and was a skilled nurseryman but spent time travelling andplanting further trees and orchards which he continued to tend.

He was said to be a kind, gentle and religious man with simple ways. He sleptout of doors and sold seeds and saplings, swapped them for things he needed, suchas clothes, or gave them away to the very poor. He was not concerned about hisappearance and would give clothes to the needy, which is perhaps why he is knownfor walking round poorly clothed and bare footed. He worked in the states of Ohio,Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois and it has been estimated that he planted enoughduring his lifetime to cover an area over 100,000 square miles.

He died at the age of 70 in 1845.
