This idea has been percolating for a little while. I just have to stitch a holiday strawberry sachet! This one will have poinsettias, evergreen boughs...and some sparkles! I may add a few white roses, too. I began work on it yesterday, and will continue my embroidering until it's complete.
I'm so excited to see this one when it's all finished. I'm already imagining red plaid leaves on top! I may even begin a series, where I create one for each month of the year! Can you even picture a bowl filled with twelve unique strawberries?
I'll share my progress as I work on this one. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think of this one so far - and what you think of my idea to do twelve unique designs to represent months of the year.
Looks great your off to a great start 11 to go ! Sandra

It;s so very pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt would be awesome to have a bowl of them!
All masterpieces, for sure.

Hi Marilyn:
DeleteI was thinking the same thing! Perhaps I should do two of each so I have one to sell? Then someone else could enjoy a whole bowl of them, too! Thanks so much, dear.

A collection of monthly (or even seasonal, along with perhaps a special one for Easter, Christmas, Halloween) would be amazing! I think you should do it!!
ReplyDeleteHi MA:
DeleteMaybe I'll do both! I may end up doing patterns for them, so people could stitch their own, too. My head is swimming with ideas. Thanks so much, dear!

That is going to be a stunning strawberry! I always love to see what you create. Enjoy yourself! Andrea Hickman
ReplyDeleteHi Andrea:

Donna this is so lovely and I think you have a great idea about doing a special one for each month of the year. Will be anxious to see what you create in the coming months. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie:
DeleteThanks! I like the monthly idea, too. Sort of like a "flower of the month" project. Maybe I should do a bunch early in the year and have some sort of stitch along? Oh, boy. Now, I'm on a roll. lol

Sherry of createology: This is stunning already with the red poinsettia on the white! I love your idea of creating monthly or yearly holiday sachets. Enjoy your day of stitching dear.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry:
DeleteThanks, dear. I love the red and white, too. Wait until I get to the part where I add the sparkles! I like monthly, and perhaps seasonally, too? Happy Sunday!

Oh the red plaid leaves just did me in!
ReplyDeleteAnd 'The Twelve' sound amazing, what a spectacular bowl that will be.
There is just something so special with the red and white.
Your weekend is off to a great start.

Hi Shirley:
DeleteThanks so much. The red plaid just seems appropriate, doesn't it? I'm so excited about the prospect of a continuing theme. I'll be working on it again today. Happy Sunday!
