This week I finished the second last embroidery block for my Life is Beautiful project. To my surprise, I enjoyed stitching all those little strawberry seeds. And I'm ready to dive into the very last block.

The strawberries are adorable as is the Love stitching!
ReplyDeleteI like your Life is Beautiful block. Now I am craving strawberries.
ReplyDeleteAll those little strawberry seed stitches were very much worth the effort! Looks great! I can't believe you only have one more block to embroider.
ReplyDeleteI would have shied away from the strawberry seeds also. The colorway in Year of stitches looks fine to me. Yes, it is more important to stitch everyday instead of perfection.
ReplyDeleteLove those strawberries. Great saying to go with it. Keep on stitchin'. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeletePretty blocks and I love the saying with the strawberry one. Speaking of color wheel, reminded me of something I had done in the past. I had given some fabric to my adult daughter and realized I needed just a snippet of several of the fabrics to finish a project. She had them all sorted out by color in plastic shoebox containers - the clear plastic ones. So, I got my snips being carful to the fabrics back in the correct boxes, and put the boxes back on the shelves. My daughter came in to see how I was doing and started rearranging the boxes. I asked her why, and she said "I keep them in rainbow color order!" And people say I am organized, haha.
ReplyDeletetoday it will be a rainy morning - I will finish a hexie and finish sorting through fabric and maybe do some cutting - is that considered "slow" I wonder - I am cutting from templates :)
ReplyDeleteLovely little strawberries, and the piece for the 1 year of stitches is wonderful, I'm working on that project in different ways just keeping up with the daily stitch.
ReplyDeleteSo close to finishing your Life is Beautiful blocks! I can't wait to see the finished quilt.
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is always beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThose stitches look good enough to eat! One more block to go. Yay!
ReplyDeleteI think I meant to say those strawberries look good enough to eat! Lol😁
