Several years ago, Inspirations magazine published a project called Strawberry Fayre.
It had a lot of moving parts to the design, and I thought about buying the kit, but somehow didn't get around to it, and the kit sold out. Periodically, I would look at the list of threads and findings and fabrics, and mentally kick myself for not getting a kit when I could.
But, those lovely people at Inspirations put a new kit together, and this time I leaped.
Just to give you an idea of what's involved--here's the inside of the box.
Like I said, a lot of moving parts.
I pulled out the issue of Inspirations with the directions, and I have to say, I think I'm a little intimidated going to find stitching this a bit of a challenge. There are some stitches I've never done before and the construction is interesting and I have a lot of other challenging things in my pile of current projects. So, I'm taking a deep breath and reminding myself that you just do one step at a time--and after all, it's all just string. And beads.
You can do it! My first wip was Blackberry Designs Strawberry Garden - full of specialty stitches I didn't know how to do. I just watched youtube videos and practiced in the margin. Go for it, it's a beautiful design. I'm gonna have to figure out how to get my hands on the pattern, this one would be lovely as an ornament on my Valentine's Day tree!
