Strawberry Quilt and Berry Basket

August 22, 2024 By patgeary

Strawberry Quilt and Berry Basket were part of the Sip and Stitch Mystery Box offered by Primrose Cottage. I did not purchase the Mystery Box but a friend loaned me both of the charts. If they offer one for Christmas this year, I think I will try and purchase one.

The Strawberry Quilt design is 55 x 55 stitches and calls for 32ct Berry Smoothie evenweave. The fabric was also offered in aida and I purchased a piece of 16ct. The recommended floss is DMC 9471, 783,3712,3831, and B5200. I decided to use Anchor white in place of B5200. I used Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe Hollyhock Leaves for the 471 and Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe Heirloom Red Cherry for 3831. I decided I wanted the finished piece to be a bit bigger so used a piece of 14ct pink I had in my stash. I finished this one as a small pin pillow with a ruched ribbon trim.

The Berry Basket has a stitch count of 99x 76 and calls for 28ct Light Ash Gray. Recommended floss is DMC 471, 645, 783, 3712, 3810, 3811, 3831, and B5200. I used the same two Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe floss colors on this one. I chose a piece of 16ct Picture This Plus Storm I had in my stash.

The small pillow is fairly heavy as I used poly pellets for the filling topped off with fiberfill. The gray wool flannel patch keeps everything inside the pillow. Rather than adding any kind of trim around the edges, I decided to add a hanging wax strawberry to the display of Berry Basket.
