Here in Barbados we don't grow strawberries but it was a pleasure to stitch this one. This was also the first time I stitched a strawberry ornament. This is a freebie offered by Janie Hubble Designs in her June 2011 newsletter.You can click on the link and sign up for the newsletters. I found this to be an interesting and different pattern to stitch. I also like the addition of the beads - all in all I liked this pattern very much.

Next, I stitched and finished this freebie pattern as a tag which can also be used as a floss holder - just replace the ribbon with a floss ring.

As mentioned in my previous post, I participated in the HoE Fall 2011 exchange. My partner for that exchange was Michelle. I stitched the Fall motif from the pattern Measure of a Year by Prairie Schooler.

I received my Fall (Autumn) Exchange for 2011 from, surprisingly Michelle! We had each others name for this exchange. It took a really long time to get here that I was a bit worried that it would have gone missing in the mail but it arrived safely. She stitched me Just a Little Autumn by San-Man Originals. Thank you Michelle and sorry that's a bit late in posting but as the saying goes better late than never.
Thank you for visiting and have a great weekend!
