Strawberries....


BBD Strawberries
Wild Berry Strawberry emery
From BBD "Joyeux Noel"
Stitched on 32ct linen w/DMC

I couldn't resist stitching these cute
designs any longer.   I used wool felt for
the tops and "cheated" by using my
Big Kick to cut out the top design. 
These were so easy to stitch up and I 
hope to stitch up a few more .

I am trying so hard to finish up at least 2
of  my January Crazy Challenge designs.   
I have been stitching all week on
CHS "Frederick" and it has been slow
going, but every stitch counts, 
so I am off to put in a few more.

I am thankful for all of the sweet comments I
received over some recent finishes.  As always,
I do appreciate you take the time to visit
and hope you have a great week.

happy stitching...

  32. Very sweet strawberries! Are they filled with emery or just stuffed? I saw a package of emery in a stitch shop once and could kick myself for not buying it.
