Strawberry Block and Bonnet Girl

I added quite a bit to the strawberry block yesterday. The red flowers and pearls along the lace at the bottom, the spider and web, the butterly to the left and I beaded the lace to the top left of the big strawberry.

To make the beaded fringe along the edge of the lace, I came up with my needle at the left corner. I picked up 11 beads and then inserted my needle 1/2 an inch to the right. I came up again 1/4 inch to the left, picked up 11 more seed beads and inserted my needle 1/2 an inch to the right. If you do that all the way along the edge of your lace, you'll have a nice scalloped beaded fringe edging.

Besides working on the strawberry block yesterday, I also finished the little bonnet girl.
