Strawberry Feast is an ideal project if you are comfortable with general embroidery stitches and have a little experience with Raised Embroidery.
Strawberry Feast was inspired by an antique botanical print of a wild strawberry plant. Strawberry plants will flower and bear fruit at the same time making them a fabulous subject for decorative embroidery. A cheeky snail is slowly making her way up the plant for a taste of the plump ripe berries, while a hungry bee is drawn to the scent of the delicate strawberry flowers.
Similar in size and stitched onto the same fabric, Strawberry Feast make a nice companion to Toadstools & Brambles.
