This design is so berry, berry sweet! In addition to the text, it features strawberry vines with both berries and blossoms, ladybugs, and bees.
PATTERN DETAILS: This pattern is stitched with whole stitches only. It calls for flosses from DMC, Classic Colorworks and Weeks Dye Works. The model was stitched on 32ct Raw Natural Belfast linen. The stitch count is 77w x 62h, and the finished design measures approximately 4 3/4"w x 3 7/8"h on that fabric.
RECREATE THE LOOK: Finish Fabric-- Henry Glass Timber Gnomies by Shelly Comiskey, SKU 9270-9 Blk/Wht Cording--DMC B5200. I spun 6 lengths of the full 6 ply floss (cut a generous 3x the perimeter of the mounted design) using a Kreinik custom corder. Plan on using 2 skeins. Bow- The red canvas ribbon is a 7/8" Bright Ideas brand ribbon, found at Joann.com. It was seasonal (4th of July) and I wasn't able to find it in stock at the time of this post. I dove-tailed the ends and sealed it with Fray check. The white ribbon is a simple 3/8" grosgrain ribbon from Walmart. I clipped the tails diagonally and sealed them with Fray check as well. Button- The covered button is from Dritz and is size 36 (7/8"). I covered it with a scrap of b/w check fabric. One more time, here's what everything looks like assembled.
