Fat Quarter Shop released Sewcialites 3, block #10 last Friday. Little Berry Block is designed by Pat Sloan.
The fabric I am using is
the Lyda Rose collection by Bunny Hill Designs, and it doesn’t have any greens
it. I copied Kimberly’s (Fat Quarter Shop) selection of fabrics so my strawberry
stem is brown.
We didn’t see any wild
strawberries on Sunday, but hubby and I took a couple of hikes with a local
group. The first trek was off the Blue Ridge Parkway (MM431) to the summit of
Richland Balsam Mountain.
We reached a 6, 410 foot above
sea level elevation and had some amazing views.
I think you can see Table Rock and a few other “famous” peaks. I need to
pay better attention next time.
After that loop, we
proceeded further up the parkway to MM417 so that we could hike down to Skinny
Dip Falls. We passed a tree name “Dragon
Tree.”
Skinny Dip Falls used to flow from way up in the mountain, but Hurricane Helene caused so much damage that it is now a series of just small falls. It was still very serene and enjoyable.
Rhododendrum
Red Trillium
We had lunch on the rocks before the day ended.
I hope you had a lovely
weekend and I wish you a wonderful week ahead. See
you soon.

Awesome hike! Love the photos too. I'm still on a hunt for a good video to "start" learning how to quilt a hotpad. Limited time, procrastination, etc etc.
What gorgeous scenery. And, what an elevation gain! Must have been wonderful to have lunch in such beautiful surroundings :-)
How neat that you have access to such views and great exercise! That is so interesting about the damage to Skinny Dip falls. it does look very inviting though.
Your strawberry block came out so well;))) Neat hiking pix, too
Hugs, Julierose
I understand. There is never enough time to do everything we want.
You had some amazing views/scenery on your hike, thanks for sharing from your part of the world;)
That's a pretty strawberry block, Jeanna! I like that color combination, and it will fit right in with your other blocks. It looks like you had a beautiful day for a hike, and beautiful views to enjoy, too!
That strawberry block is awesome. I like the leaf orientation! I also liked the dragon tree. What fun sights to see on your hike!
What beautiful spring views!!
Hi Jeanna, it's so nice to be back here and find these beautiful photos! What gorgeous landscapes, and I'm so glad you were able to enjoy them, as well as the outing with your husband... I love nature, and the fact that you can enjoy it is a real treat! Something you shouldn't miss out on... I also love your appliqué and how your Melissa SAL is coming along. It's adorable. Thank you for visiting my blog. See you very soon, and keep enjoying this passion that we both love and that unites us: cross-stitch! Hugs! And see you very soon!
