Strawberry Snow
Sometimes I make something so sweet that it feels like my teeth are going to melt. "Strawberry Snow" is a San-Man Originals chart that I won in a contest on the SMO message board. I always feel like I have an obligation to stitch a chart that I won, and I only enter contests where I really want to stitch the chart so it usually works out fine. This was such a cute theme, perfect for the transition from winter to spring. I've turned it into a quilt that I hope to send to AAQI if I can get Sandy's approval. I had fun adding beads to snowflakes, rick-rack to the seam and the cute little bow around the snowman's neck. The fabric is 28 ct Cashel linen in light mocha, and the threads are mostly DMC with the exception of WDW Strawberry Fields for the berries. It annoys me that the camera seems to pick up all the wonky parts that aren't so noticeable in real life. I think this is the first time that my mitered corners all came out like they were supposed to though.

Hello
Your finish is lovely
The design is cute and your finishing off is perfect!
It came out great. I totally love it! :)
This is so sweet~
That's so cute! Wish I knew how to sew like that. Great finish.
I love how you used rick rack to frame the piece . I'm really drawn to the red snowflakes!
This is beautiful, Annie! Although I don't see any wonky parts on your project I know what you mean about things showing up on the camera that were unnoticed before. I'm always noticing cats hairs or cobwebs when I post pictures on my blog that I hadn't seen before! Your quilt turned out so nice, my favorite part of the stitching is the pink snowflakes.
This is so sweet that I need an insulin shot! ;)
Such a cute pattern you've stitched! Sweet finished! The whole piece looks very "strawberry". Very nice, Annie!
Strawberries and snowmen--who could resist this adorable finish, Annie? Another winner for the AAQI finish, I'd say :)
I know what you mean about the camera focusing on any "wonky" parts!! It is so frustrating and my camera, lately, has just not been photographing the reds true to life at all... Maybe it's just me--I really should take time and read the manual :)
Hear you're having a heat wave down your way--enjoy!!
lovely design and beautifully finished...i love it
