It's required duo has some creative flex:

Entry #2 by Lori Barrett-Stroup


Both of these are excellent! Thank so very much, Deanne and Lori!

FQCB Theme #6 Berries or Cherries AND Plate or Pan or Bowl or Jar starts 14 June 2022

Howdy! Yippee! Glad you came to FarmQuest!

This is a challenge blog focused on country/rural topics related to gardening, orchards, farmers markets, lake life, ranching, farming, camping, hiking, etc. 

Theme #6 has a great pair combo:

*use berries or cherries

(strawberries, gooseberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, cranberries or cherries)

AND

*a vessel container for them that is NOT a basket--pie pan, cake plate, dessert plate, mixing bowl, cereal bowl, colander/strainer bowl, jam/jelly jar, etc. 

Competition runs from June 14-27, 2022 and the start and end time for both those dates is 12:30am Central Time/Chicago or 6:30am UK. Use those 2 references to adjust to wherever you are in the world. 

For theme #6 inspiration=

Guest Designer for Theme #6 is the creatively skillful Kelly Sullins-Joehrs=


Doesn't her card make you hungry for pie? And her chosen sentiment is perfect too!

This is the talented artisan's picture and brief profile=


Kelly is a cardmaker and has been creating handmade cards since her friend introduced her to cardmaking in 2010.  She loves sending her cards to family and friends to let them know she's thinking about them and to brighten their day. Over the years, she has served on design teams to create inspiring projects for several companies. When Kelly's not in her studio creating cards,  you can find her working as a Real Estate Broker or enjoying the beautiful outdoors where she lives in Florida.

Some credits for the mix of blueberry and blackberry card: checked gingham/plaid paper (Lake Life by); berry sweet frame and sentiment/tag are from Echo Park's Farmhouse Kitchen Frames and Tags set (2020); the little blackberry jam jar tag is from Echo Park's Farmers Market Frames and Tags set (2021). 

This is definitely berry sweet and I've included some faux blueberries with the navy pearl gems.

Now it's your turn to go on a quest for this cooking/baking pair-up! June is country cooking month as well as National Dairy month, so a bowl of ice cream topped with berries sounds really yummy! I had a mixed berry medley along with pizza and tossed salad for lunch and supper today over at my mother's farm. My sister, niece, and great nephew have traveled over 12 hours to spend a few days with us! Our brother, sister-in-law, and nephew drove 2-3 hours to join us for lunch and afternoon visiting in the air conditioning! It's a scorcher in Illinois! 

Acceptable formats are mentioned in the rules but I'll state them here so you can start brainstorming ideas and think about where to search in your stash. Scrapbook layouts, TN spreads, journals/planners, tags, bookmarks, cards, and ATCs.

Participation info: Please read the rules listed in the sidebar. Become a blog follower, please. Thank you for supporting FarmQuest through your project submission photo link. To do that, use the provided Inlinkz tool address=
