Quintessential fall. It's apple season and Molly of MommyCoddle and her daughters are celebrating them by making homemade applesauce and lovely apple prints.

They've stamped on linen, but you could use cotton fabric, twill, paper or even t-shirts. Molly writes that her girls "went crazy when they lifted up that apple to see the first print underneath." Beautiful!

The folks at Martha Stewart used apple prints on canvas bags and book covers.

They recommend using a stamp pad or fabric paint (read more here.)

You don't have to stop at apples - give pears, lemons, limes, oranges a try.
