Strawberry Farm Done!


I completed the last of the project. I put my name and the date on the bottom. It appears the red hat ladies came to tea. LOL. This is a close up of the last section of the project. I also have a full view of the completed project. I plan to get this framed.

I had planned to do a "Wordless Wednesday" but I just couldn't stop myself from showing this one off. Tomorrow I will do a pretty scenic view.

I just love this - -

My sister stitched this tablecloth. It has such pretty blue and yellow flowers. I am pleased and thrilled to have it. My nephew and his wife had their eye on it and I said that was fine. Then they told me it was mine. Jayne worked on this project over a long time and did not know that she had finished it. It covers my barrel table which is full of candles. It is a reminder of my sister. I don't really need any reminders - - my heart aches every day.

Strawberry Fields Title

So now we have the title of this piece. The flowers are beads. The little bees and butterflies were a bit of a pain to stitch.

Buttons, buttons, who has all the buttons?

I do! It appears the my sister, Jayne, (I miss her) had a habit of collecting buttons. Little ones, big ones, loud colors, and all other kind of combinations were found in her apartment.
I know she used a lot of little buttons on baby sweaters and I found many of those in the stash. I sorted all the buttons, put them in little plastic bags and stored them away. If you need a special button, let me know if I can help.....

Let's start the Jam House and the farmer's market

I like the 'working' part of this piece. The white fancy delicate tablecloth is also a fun part of this.

More strawberries.....

She is wearing a purple shirt. Could it be me???? The white flowers are stitched with beads.
Then I added the pretty green row of fancy stitches and beads.
