Since it's the end of the month, it's time to finish another embroidered heart mini. I finished the June heart for May, so now I'm finishing the May heart for June! 🍓🍓🍓 In my defense, strawberries grow a bit later out here in Colorado, and are often harvested in June, so it will still be appropriate.
Just for fun, I prepped another little strawberry doodle from PinkernPunkin to stitch as a companion piece. I think I'll work this one all in red.
I did make good progress on the Rose Garden Mini Sampler this week. I don't often stitch a border like this, and I did get off by one stitch early on, so had to rip back a ways. But I continued on around and ended up exactly where I needed to be! Just one green leaf and a few more roses to finish up now!

We have had some local strawberries for the last few weeks —they were grown in a greenhouse. The ones grown in fields are usually ready in June sometime. Your strawberry embroidery is lovely! Love your seasonal stitching projects. The rose sampler is almost done! Gail at the cozy quilter
Sweet pieces. I'm constantly inspired by your stitching but have yet to pull out my threads.
yes the further north the later the strawberries - I'm still finding one or two in the garden but they are pretty much done here
What a great idea to finish a mini project a month! I sure admire your cross stitching. Have a good week.
That is the perfect border for your heart! Your cross stitching look terrific too!
Every time you show a finished heart embroidery I think I should be doing those also! But lately when evening rolls around I am not in the mood to stitch.
That heart mini is really pretty! Love the border for your sampler. Counting on those borders can be tricky!
I’m so anxious to get back to my space and my needle and thread. The Rose sampler is next.
Oh Diann, I am quite smitten with how your framed your strawberry heart. To see your projects just warms my heart beyond words. I cannot thank you enough. You are the sweetest. Warm hugs.
I looking forward to strawberry season in Vermont next month. We already had it back in Feb/March here in Florida. Enjoy your week.
Strawberries are a June thing here. The local ones taste soooo much better than the supermarket variety.
All of your stitching projects are looking good. Hope you got in lots of slow stitching yesterday.
You do the best handwork and find such fun patterns! I'm just starting to see ads for the local strawberry picking places here.
Oh I love these strawberry pieces! They are so sweet! The Rose Garden Sampler is adorable too! Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
Lovely slow stitching projects. Cross stitch borders can really be a bugger!
