How to Pad a Strawberry with Felt

Anna Scott does a lot of embroidery, especially crewel, and was kind enough to explain how she created padded strawberries using felt in her latest blog posting.  It gives a very dimensional berry, something that needlepointers might want on one of their pieces.  Note her tips on attaching the felt layers in particular and notice that she has done a trellis stitch on top of the felt/satin stitch layers to finish the strawberry.  Nice work!
