Fresh Berries

is sashed with the strawberry print and quilted, too!

15.5 inches square

I've machine sewn the binding to the front and today's slow stitching will be to hand sew the binding to the back.  I'm so glad I chose the red and white check for the binding - it gives this little project a sweet summery look.  (And we need that around here because it's been cold and snowy!) 


Meanwhile, the gardening Easter Bunny is all stitched, too!  This one's going to need the perfect border fabric - I wonder what will turn up for it...

A cute summery FFO (Fully Finished Object) and an FO (Finished Object) on it's way to completion. Boy do I love the pops of pink in your Gardening Bunny. Well Done!

Oh, your Strawberry quilt is so adorable, Diann. I love the fabric choice for the binding. I am so honored you stitched my humble berries. Thank you so much. Your Bunny is as a cute as button. I can not wait to see what border fabric hops out to you. Enjoy your day.

Ok, Fresh Berries is just too cute! Yes! That binding is lovely! It pulls the project together, especially with the red and white cornerstone!
Your Easter Bunny embroidery is also so cute! Did you achieve the wonderful shading with variegated floss? It’s really lovely and those pink flowers pop nicely!
Happy Stitching!
