June Berries is one of the charts in the book A Fine Collection by Blackbird Designs. It really did not appeal to me that much until I saw it actually stitched. I decided then it needed to go on my “stitching soon list.” The book contains a series of twelve charts, one for each month. It is copyright 2002 and is now Out of Print.
The called for fabric is 30ct Sleepy Hollow by R & R Reproductions but I selected a piece of 16ct Parchment aida by Zwigert. I had all of the floss that was called for except Gentle Arts Rhubarb so selected a couple of Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe floss I thought might work.

And here it is finished. I think I am going to make a pin pillow out of it to add to the dough bowl.
And a good way to spend a rainy day is finishing this one into a pin pillow.
You are off to a good start on this one, Pat.
