Come on! Come on! It's Berry Pickin' Time! Grab your basket filled with needle, floss, threads and fabric. I am sure we will find something berry nice in this patch of strawberry goodness!
Good morning , Sweetness and a very lovely day to you. As many of you know, I have been knee deep in berry stitching and quilting lately. So I thought why not share my 1st ever Strawberry Parade . It is just a berry special parade of berry freebies that I have shared in the past. I would be quite honored if you joined me as I march down into the berry patch! Let's go!

             That was not a long parade was it? Oh, well that is ok that gives me more excuses to work on berry stitches. And speaking of berries, I can not leave out my 2 blueberry stitches. They are as cute as a button too.

Kind words are the blossoms; Kind deeds are the fruits. - 19th century nursery rhyme Dedicated to the sweetest strawberry picker ever- my dear sis, Amy! I love and miss you, Amo 🍓🍓🍓 |
Good morning dear Melisa. It was such a treat to find your Strawberry parade this morning. Somehow I had previously missed Mary’s basket and had a lovely time discovering all the detail on how to make the pinkeep. I love all your patterns, but can’t decide which to stitch first! It’s so so kind of you to keep sharing all your ideas with us, so “Thank you so much 🩷🩷🩷” for all that you do. 🤗😘👍🙋♀️🩷💜🩷💜🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓 Barbara @flashinscissors
ReplyDeleteAaah you brought the biggest smile to my day! Thank you so much, Barbara; I am so touched that you enjoyed the parade and found a piece that you had missed. Have a great weekend. Hugs.
DeleteGood morning Melisa.It was so nice to see your strawberry parade this morning. I love it all. I have made 4 of the stamps and want to do more. Picking the colors has been a challenge but I'm trying. I like it when you post the colors you use. If I make all the designs I want to I'm going to have to find a nice hutch like you have. Have a blessed week and thank you for sharing all of your designs.
ReplyDeleteAah I am so touched that you are stitching along with me, Joy. I bet your strawberry stamps are beautiful. I have to admit that I have trouble on color choice as well. On these I originally was going to use a blue border but chose a 498 since I have so much red in my house. I hope you enjoy each and every stitch. Thank you for making my day. Hugs.
Delete(Little Penpen) you make the cutest designs! Such a treasure to us!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Penny. I can not tell you how much your kind compliment and sweet visit means to me. Hugs.
DeleteYou definitely have a berry bucket full of beautiful and fun stitching stuff!
ReplyDeleteMy berry collection has grown. Lol. I look forward to adding more to the collection in the future. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteWhile I don't eat strawberries, I totally enjoyed seeing your parade of stitched strawberries. Hope you have a good day, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteAaah I am so glad you enjoyed my wee berry parade, Robin. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteI love all your berry designs, Melisa! I just finished stitching Strawberries and Cream last night. I've never made an actual strawberry, like your pinkeep before - maybe I'll try that next!
ReplyDeleteYour Strawberries and Cream is gorgeous, Diann! I loved the colors that you used especially the blue border. I hope you do try the strawberry pinkeep. If you do cut your fabric larger than the berry pattern to give yourself enough room to play with . I learned the hard way. Lol. Hugs.
DeleteYou have so many beautiful berry designs!! Such a great collection of goodies...i plan on strawberries for dessert tonight...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteMmmm. I could have strawberries anytime. Thank you so much, Julierose . I enjoyed pulling together all of my berry stitches. Hugs.
DeleteThat was a huge parade! I love them all and want to make them all. But today is back to cleaning and clearing as I call it. The holiday was great and I hope you enjoyed yours. You are such a bright spot in my day and I appreciate all that you share with us. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh I need to clean and clear out as well , but I always find myself chasing squirrels and playing in the quilt room. Lol. Thank you so much for bringing a warm smile to my day and for the sweet visit. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteAll of your berry designs are adorable! I've enjoyed watching Diann's progress on her take of your designs at Little Penguin Quilts.--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteIsn't Diann's berry stamp the cutest? I love her color choices. Thank you so much, dear Terry for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteThank you so much for the lovely Strawberry Parade (w/Blueberries), this was so much fun to go back and reread the blog entries of your sweet designs. So many memories, so many fun patterns, so little time but great hopes of finishing all the goodies!!! Sending very warm hugs from sunny Arizona, we are into the 100"s in the afternoons! Summer has arrived!!
ReplyDelete100 already?! Yep summer has arrived. We have reached the low 90's but this week it has been mild which has been nice. Thank you so much, dear Mary for the sweet visit and seeing my berry collection. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs.
DeleteIt's so amazing the sheer number of strawberry designs you've created through the years, Melisa! Each one is so sweet. And I do love those last two blueberry designs being the lover of blue that I am :) Thank you for a fun parade and for sharing your creativity with us! Enjoy your day ♥
ReplyDeleteI did not realize I had so many berry stitches until I started pulling them together. The blueberry is one of my favorites. Last year was a good year for house stitching. Lol. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteThey are all wonderful and adorable. Thank you Melisa!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you sweet, Darlene. My berry collection is growing. Lol. Hugs and Blessings.
Deleteoops that was me Darlene J
ReplyDeleteSurely you will not lack places to show off these wonderful works, dear Melisa!!

Oh gosh, Isabel, I do feel like I am running out of room, but I do enjoy having these berry stitches on display. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteLove your berries parade! All cuties. Reminds me of berry season in Norway.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Astrid. You are so very kind. I am curious . When is berry season in Norway? Here in the southern US where I live it is April and Mary. Blueberries are coming into season now. Have a lovely weekend. Hugs.
DeleteSo much juicy red goodness displayed today! Thank you for the Berry parade! Once again, I couldn't possibly pick a favorite! LOL
ReplyDeleteIt is hard for me to pick a favorite as well, Ginny. My collection is slowly growing. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteWell now I don't know what to stitch for the June Strawberry Moon SAL!! I want to do the Berries Stamp, but now I also have to stitch the Mini Strawberry Sampler, and ....
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the fun you share with us!
Oooh I haven't heard of the Strawberry Moon SAL - how fun and exciting! I look forward to seeing what you decide to stitch. I am all into strawberry stitching right now. Thank you so much for the sweet visit, Kathy. Hugs.
