Last night, after feasting on some delicious vegetarian fajitas prepared by my clergyman spouse, I headed upstairs to the sewing room for some strawberries! I found the pattern a few weeks ago at Moda Bake Shop and knew I had to make some. I changed the recipe a little bit. I really don't care for sewing tiny, fussy little shapes, (and besides, I couldn't find my pinking sheers), so I used wool for the leaves. I'm going to put the berries on this little plate for a Valentine's Day decoration and then get them back out in a few months and put them in a green ceramic basket I have for just a summer display in the kitchen. I'm thinking of making a bunch for my sister for Valentine's Day. I have some red fabric with little swirly white hearts that I think will make some really nice berries.I can't wait to travel around and see what everyone else did at the sew-in. Thanks to Heidi and Bobbi for gathering everyone together.

They are so sweet, they look lovely on that plate and I imagine they will be so summery in a green basket, just what we need at the moment. I don't blame you for avoiding the fiddling with the leaves, yours look gorgeous and they're your personal design too. The sew-in was such fun wasn't it?
I have seen this pattern and I like the wool for the leaves really well! Great first time Sew-In for me!
Those strawberries turned out so well. They look so cute set out on the plate!
Your blog is so cute! Keep on quilting.
