Diary Quilt Tuesday #28


My block for this week is strawberries. This has been a fabulous year for them, some of the best I have ever tasted. I go to an Amish farm that sells them for $3.00 a quart. Most grocery stores sell them for about twice that amount. Last week they were buy 2 get one free!



Here is a detail of the leaf which turned out kind of realistic. I just looked at a strawberry leaf and drew the lines the way they are in real life.


The flower started to blend into the background so I outlined it with my pigma pen. It works.

Today I have bee at my house, I am going to serve strawberries for dessert!

  6. Kelly, I think this diary quilt is one of the best you've done. I like strawberries too and think you made a beautiful rendering of some that look quite edible! Loved seeing the picture of your daughter and her friends too. It's wonderful that they've had these lifelong friendships. I don't think that happens very often.
