CHRISTMAS DAY STRAWBERRY
for
Strawberry Trifle DESSERT on Christmas Day dinner.
We've each made one:
Candice--- hers used Heath bars (be still my heart);
and
Lindsay's--which was a work of art with strawberries and blueberries;
and
moi--strawberries, bananas, and sherry wine-- pound cake slices, sliced almonds &topped with real whipped cream...
and sometimes chocolate curls...yum
(pardon me while I catch my breath....)
And So....anyhoo....(Below)
I wanted to finish February's blocks early as my hubster is going to have
his 2nd eye op on February 13th and I wanted to finish this little
fabric "card" for him so I can hand quilt it...(shhhh); I am
sentimental about Valentine's Day (not to mention that I
[heart] chocolate and roses, too...)
I used the chart from an old Norwegian knitting book ( that was
my Grand-mere's book) for the heart chart pattern;
and I cut all the squares at 1.5" ...it is nice soothing work--FUN!!
My word for 2017 ;))))
This is how it is coming along...
So far, only the vertical rows are sewn; I want to get this little present ready for my Sweetie for Valentine's Day along with his favorite chocolate mints.
He has progressed really well with the first eye--doc said he is a fast healer...which is great.... and he has had a plethora of medical issues these
past two years--I am hoping this will cheer him up a bit...
Hugs, and thanks to all you wonderful commentators--
I love reading your encouraging words--
for my version of Farm Girl Vintage--
and all my projects
(and my moaning and whining, too;0000)
I am calling the FG blocks:
