Berries in Bloom is a free chart offered by Hands on Designs. The stitch count was on 65 x 64 so I figured it would be a pretty quick stitch. I was also looking for a design I could use with some buttons I had purchased for another project I decided NOT to stitch.
The picture above shows the project stitched on 32ct Vintage Tiffany from Fabrics by Stephanie. I chose to use 14ct Friendship Greene also from Fabrics by Stephanie. I switched out quite a few of the recommended threads for Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe threads.
- DMC 3831/VMSS Burning Bush
- DMC 309/VMSS Nexessaire Red
- DMC 501/VMSS Dark Variegated Pine
- DMC 469
- DMC 367
- DMC 610
- DMC 3865/DMC 543
The button is merry.go.round (#10196) shown below from Just Another Button Company.
The finished size on 14ct is 4 5/8 by 4 5/8. In hindsight, I probably should have used 16ct. I have three of the buttons so may choose to use the 16ct on the last one as I already have both 14ct piece cut and gridded.
