Strawberries: Old and New

I made this strawberry over 20 years ago. I bought the fabric in the U.S. (Michigan). It is not just fabric with a polka-dot pattern, the dots are slightly "raised" giving them a three-dimensional look. Unfortunately, I don't have any of the fabric left. Back then we made lots of plush strawberries and put them in preserve jars. My American cousin showed me how to make them and I still have the original handmade pattern. I made the other two strawberries this week. I want to make lots of them and have no two the same!

The Bike Collector

This is one of my husband's MANY bikes. He collects bikes the way I collect cross-stitch patterns. He likes to buy vintage bikes and restore them. Nice park bench too!

My Dog Collection

You don't have a lifelong love of Lassie without collecting a few Collies along the way. I have been collecting Shetland Sheepdog and Collie "stuff" for as long as I can remember. I would like to share a few of them with you today.

Happy Sheltie!

Pincushions

I am not quite sure what it is about them that fascinates me, but I can't get enough of them. I think they are the cutest things. Pincushions. So many shapes, sizes, styles, fabrics, charms, stitches, there is no end to what you can create.
