Experience Summer… Fresh From the Vine
Remember the moment when you first put a sun-warmed, summer-ripe strawberry in your mouth and bit down?
Wasn’t that a moment of perfect happiness?
A moment when the five senses came together to evoke the warmest emotions, the best memories, and the greatest sense of well-being that you’ve ever had?
Imagine, all of that because of a bite-sized piece of fruit.
That amazing sense of pure joy was the inspiration for Princess YellowBelly’s small quilt project – based on a Bargello design – the Summer Ripe Strawberry.

Display Options
Summer Strawberry was designed as a table topper for a small table or to complement a larger table’s centerpiece.
However it can also be used as a banner or as wall art.
We use regular household thumbtacks to secure our fabric art panels for display. They hold the panel tight and fabric is self-healing, once the tacks are removed the holes will close up again.
