I can't believe we're already 1/2 way through the 100 Details In 100 Days project. I've enjoy this so much and I'll feel sad when it's over.
Today's detail is another design from one of Gina's beautiful embroidered peacock linens.
Again, you'll have to work from both the pattern and the photo. This one was a bit hard to trace.
Try working the feathers with a varigated or overdyed floss!
If you download this pattern, please take a moment to hop over to Gina's blog and thank her for allowing me to draft patterns from her linen collection.

100 Details In 100 Days - Day 49
I'm back! But I have to keep this post short. I need to run uptown and pick up some groceries. My cupboards are empty!
So I'll post more later but for now, today's crazyquilt detail is a rose for outline embroidery. You can do this in whatever colors you wish or it would look great done in Redwork with different red fabrics crazypatched around it!
Enjoy and I'll share more later.

Halloween Doorknocker 1 Complete
I just finished this a few minutes ago and thought I would post it real quick before I shut my computer down for the weekend.
I'm doing 3 Halloween Doorknockers all together so I'll start on the 2nd one next week.
Have a great weekend everyone!

100 Details In 100 Days - Days 44, 45, 46, 47 and 48
As I've mentioned earlier, I'll be away from my computer now until Tuesday 8/8. So I've uploaded my 100 Details In 100 Days patterns for the next 5 days. I'll return to my computer on Tuesday with Day #49.
The following patterns are all for outline embroidery. You can crayon tint them and then embroider them or you can embroider them as is. You can also size them if you have a graphic program. I think you may be able to re-size them in Microsoft Paint too but I'm not sure.
Anyway, enjoy these patterns.
Click on any of the photos to go to my Flickr site where you can download a large version.

100 Details In 100 Days - Day 43
Today's detail is a simple little butterfly design for you to embroider. You can trace it onto your fabric and then work it into your foundation or you can trace it onto tissue paper, pin that to your block and stitch it.
This can be worked with embroidery floss or you can do the wings with perle cotton. I would satin stitch the body and the spots on the wings but you could use beads there instead. Try adding a seed bead to the ends of wing lines.
As I mentioned yesterday, I'll be away from my computer starting tomorrow and will return on Tuesday 8/8. I have my details all worked up for the next few days and will post them this afternoon.
When I return, I'll be drafting up several more of Gina's peacocks from her vintage linen collection. She has some gorgeous peacocks at her new blog! Click here to take a peek!
