There’s a Strawberry Faire Stitch-A-Long (SAL) that begins today February 14th. Flosstuber Helen D. and Carla of Cobweb Corner will be hosting the SAL and there’s still time for you to join in. The design itself is from October House. This will be the first time I have stitched anything by this designer.
The design can be stitched with either the called for colors, Helen D’s conversion or choose your own colors. I chose Helen D’s conversion which includes three of the called for flosses (fancy) and the rest using the DMC conversion. I chose a piece of 16ct parchment aida from my stash.

Progress will be posted in Instagram (not my favorite platform) using the hashtag #strawberryfairesal.
With my poor eyesight, I am having trouble with the big berry. Think I am going to scan and enlarge the chart so it is easier for me to stitch.

Now to assemble the small pin pillow with this Blackbird Design backing fabric and some lace trim.
And here it is fully finished and ready to join some of the other smalls in the dough bowl.
Looking forward to seeing your progress on this pretty design, Pat!
