Today's chart is for a ladybug. The Victorians loved their bugs! Don't ask me why. But this little one is harmless!
I would use this design as a focal point on a floral crazyquilt, stitching it on x stitch fabric and sewing into my foundation.
The floss is DMC brand.

100 Details In 100 Days - Day 29
As you can see, I took yesterday's Ivy motif, and turned it into an Autumn Leaf branch.
Again, try adding some red beads for berries. All of my charts use DMC 6 strand embroidery floss.

Rose Garden Handbag Continued
Just a quick little update on this piece. I embellished my signature cat with a variety of beads. There was a little too much plain white fabric to the right of the roses so I added a little stem branch and some forgetmenot beads. I also filled the centers of the roses with yellow pearls.
The diagonal piecing makes for an interesting block, don't you think?

Today's pattern is for an Ivy vine. Try embellishing with some red or purple beads for berries.
Tomorrow, I'll take this same design and turn it into Autumn leaves!

100 Details In 100 Days - Day 27
I've been rather obsessed with grapes lately. Ever since Sharon's Day 24 post where she shared a "caston" stitch technique for doing Wisteria. They're gorgeous as Wisteria but every time I look at them, I see grapes! I'm just itching to do some but I don't think they'll fit on my current Rose Garden project so I guess I'll have to plan on them for my next one.
Grapes have always been a symbol of properity so today, I'm giving you a small counted cross stitch motif for pink and purple grapes.
Again, work on 14 count cross stitch fabric and sew into your foundation or stitch directly on your crazy quilt using 14 count waste canvas. The floss is DMC brand.
