Life is Sweet
Not long after releasing my first berry designs, I began teaching a finishing class, often hosted by a retailer or at an event. These typically featured a simple and quick-to-stich berry chart designed for that location and/or season. After ten years, this book is a collection of several of those berries - plus a brand-new berry design - for a total of nine berries!
In addition to the nine charts there are color images, finishing instructions, and templates included in this large format book.
The tabs below include details for the new "Life is Sweet" berry. For the other berries, not all details are provided - remember, you can definitely dig into your stash of fabric, floss, wools, and trims for these berries!
