Chocolate Covered Cherries


When I saw this chart I knew I had to stitch it! Chocolate covered cherries are one of my favorites! I finished it as an ornament. A hanging loop is formed if the pin at top is removed. Stick more pins in it and it becomes a pinkeep.

I auditioned all sorts of fabrics for the back. You wouldn’t think it would be so difficult to find a suitable backing fabric but nothing seemed to work. So, to perk up the solid red faux silk backing that was finally chosen, I raided the button jar looking for a ‘cherry’ button to put on the back. Out of luck again so I took a plain button and stitched some cherries into the holes of a 4-hole button.
They look like cherries don’t they? Kinda . . . sorta . . . maybe?

  1. Candace, Love how your cherries turned out! I'm stitching this little darling up as we speak. I hope mine turns out half as nicely as yours did.
