Growing up in Oregon s Willamette Valley, I enjoyed an abundance of local fruit, including pears, apples, grapes, and berries especially berries! As a teenager, I would pick strawberries in the summer. Lots of the kids did. Can you picture it teenagers, picking strawberries, eating strawberries throwing strawberries? We had fun. Another good memory built around summertime fruit in the Willamette Valley. Materials Yardage is based on 42"-wide fabric.
