Strawberry Harvest – Finished

Thank you all for sharing your thoughts with me on this one.

It’s my first finish of 2024.

Do y’all think the bottom looks ok as it is? It’s still on the frame. I don’t want to go back and stitch all the fill in below the vine but if you think it needs it, I’ll do it. I’m pretty happy with it but am kinda wondering if it all needs to be filled in. Maybe it’s just time to move on.

  2. While it doesn’t look as bad as I thought it might, it still looks unfinished to me. But, it’s your project .

  4. I think it needs the fill. But if you don’t want to and think it looks good then do what makes you happy. You are the one that will be ogling at it for years to come. I you feel it is done. Then it is done.

  5. Judy, it looks great! Finish it! I believe it will look great framed! I forgot to let you know but John and I on December 19th celebrated our 60th Anniversary! Sorry for getting off subjects.,

  8. I love it! The wavy bottom border adds a design element…no one will ever know that it wasn’t planned that way! I know you’re glad it’s done–time to move on!

    • Yes. I am. I’m going to stitch a Valentine’s Day project on the top of the linen and there may be room for a small Christmas ornament on there too. Once those are done, I’ll have a frame I can use for something else.

      Thank you for the kind words about it.

  9. Judy, your question had me laughing. Thank you for that. If the point is to “keep life simple” then the cross stitch is finished! 🙂 I actually like the more whimsical look of no stitching at the bottom versus an anchored look of grass. I also think it let’s the strawberries shine.

    • I had that exact same thought. I’m making something more difficult than it should be. I never learn! 🙂
