I started adding beads to this block yesterday. I filled in the lazy daisy flowers and leaves with seed beads, added some Czech glass beads and seed beads to my charted circle border at the top, attached my glass strawberry beads, which I've been saving for this project, to the vine on the left of the big strawberry. I wish I had some smaller strawberry beads. Since I don't, I think I'll get out my Poly Clay stash and see if I can make some!
More tomorrow!

Ready To Stitch
As I mentioned yesterday, I ran my sewing machine all weekend. I can't believe how much stuff I got done! I did alot of finishing and I sewed up 7 more crazy quilt blocks:
I also did some crayon tinting on the iron-on transfer designs I traced last week:
Now to finish my work for the day so I can get to stitching!

Strawberry Block Day 5
A quick update on my Strawberry block. I added the pink buttonhole wheels which was inspired by Sharon's Day 2 seam treatment. It's a bit of a variation.
I also added the satin stitched leaves (from my charted maple leaf border) and then the buttonhole fans at the bottom. I'm going to start adding beads and other do-dads now and we'll see where this goes.
More tomorrow.
