I finally figured out why some of you have trouble posting comments to my blog. Thanks to Oda, I realized that my settings would only accept comments from registered Blogspot users! Sometimes I think someone should hit me over the head and say, "Hello, McFly!" Ha, ha, ha!
Anyway, I changed the settings so now you should all be able to post comments directly to my blog. I still have the Word Verification on to prevent spam.

100 Details In 100 Days - Day 31
Today's detail is a simple butterfly motif. Feel free to change the colors to suit your project and try replacing the black spots on the butterfly wings with seed beads for some sparkle.

Happy Stitching!

Rose Garden Handbag - Stitching Complete
I finished this little piece last night. I see I didn't quite get it straight on the scanner but that's ok. It's enough for you to see.
I really love the colors in this and I thought the diagonal piecing would make for an interesting project which it did.
I was at a loss for what to put in the pink patch at the top. I had already used the bee charms, that tiny little ladybug charm and a butterfly. So I dug into my button box and found that vintage black rhinestone button.
Sure wish the scanner would pick up the dimension and sparkle of my pieces.
I've completed alot of finishing and will share photos next week. The Strawberry Fields quilt is done, the Bonnet Lady handbag is done as is the Butterfly Handbag. I just need to get photos which I'll do over the weekend.

100 Details In 100 Days - Day 30
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.
