Strawberries and Cream

Happy Friday, friends!

I just love pulling out my finished "Strawberries and Cream" piece from Stitchrovia every year. This piece is still one of my favorites that I've stitched. It's a lot of work, but totally worth it in the end!

I had finished this piece in an aqua, rustic frame I found at Joann's years ago. It's matted with some really pretty strawberry red quilting fabric, and edged with handmade cording. I added another layer of handmade cording between the quilting fabric and the frame as well just to make it pop. All four corners have a wooden leaf with a small rosette in the center. 

In addition to this piece, this year I added "Berry Buzz" from Misty over at Luminous Fiber Arts to my upstairs red, white and teal-themed vignette. I stitched this on 32 ct Taupe Lugana and used Caribbean Waters from Classic Colorworks for the aqua instead of the darker called-for blue. It's mounted on some black and white gingham fabric and attached with magnets to this wooden block I found at Michaels. I like to use this block for a lot of my smaller pieces in this tiered tray.


Both of these pieces coordinate with last year's "Berry" finish by Lizzie Kate. I love pulling that piece out every year, too!

Week of Fall Finishes

Hi Friends!

This week I worked on getting some of my fall stitches FFOed as well as working my way through my To-Finish pile from other stitchers.



I started with my Autumn Whirligig tart that I finished like all of the other Whirligigs I finished this year. I made some changes to this design including changes to the color and then edged the piece with some brown and orange fancy trim.

STITCHY DETAILS:

Then I finished up this cute fall stitch as another one of those rustic wood ornaments I had finished a few weeks ago. This type of finish is basic and simple but I like that I got to play around with some color through cording and ribbons.
