Alpha Berries
A trio of berries featuring the alphabet - a mainstay in so much of what we stitch! These fit in nicely with the Marking Adaptation series or your own sampler corner. Each berry features a different alphabet and I’ve trimmed the tops in similar ways, but each is slightly different - there are lots of options using your stash of buttons, trims, wools, etc.
Stitch count:
136 x 85 for each berry
NOTE: This is slightly larger than most other linen berries; a template is included in the chartpak.
Fabric:
Fiber on a Whim: 36 count Affogato linen
Threads:
Weeks Dye Works: Collards, Flatfish, Twilight
Finishing:
WDW wools: Collards, Mountain Mist HB
Lady Dot Creates: Vintage rayon ribbon, Bird's Nest twill tape, Buster Brown lace trim
Vintage buttons shown are from my personal collection.
These berries are slightly larger - some covers have the incorrect stitch count: it should be 136 x 85. This is not likely to greatly impact the amount of fabric required.
A template is included in the chartpak.
