Today's detail is another of Ella's original patterns. If you're wondering who Ella is, see my post from yesterday (Day 55).
I'll have some of my Kentucky photos for you later today. I'm having a terrible time getting into my blogger account today. Am doing this post through Flickr so I hope it goes through.

New Projects
I started this little project last night. The design is from one of my vintage transfers. I think it's from a Superior Transfer design. Anyway, I'm using Overdyed Floss from Needle Necessitities. I have so many threads, I forget sometimes what I have! These are beautiful hand dyed varigated threads.
I did just a bit of crayon tinting on the basket.
And this will be my Halloween #3 block. Another 5 inch block which I'll make into a doorknocker for my Etsy Boutique.
Tomorrow, I'll have some photos from our trip to Kentucky!

100 Details In 100 Days - Day 55
Yesterday, I mentioned that my husband and I went to an antique flea market in Wisconsin and I hit the transfer jackpot!
Well, I came across a large ziplock bag full of what I thought was misc. iron-on transfers. They were simply marked, "embroidery patterns" and at only $3.00 for the whole bagful, I didn't care of there were any duplicates to what I already have. I didn't look through them, I just handed the dealer my $3.00 and went on my merry way.
When I got home and sat down with my goodies, what I found in this bag was what I believe are all original hand drawn patterns. All done in pencil on either tissue paper and brown paper bags. The variety is amazing and most of them are signed, "Ella".
I thought it would be fun to share a few of them with you so today's detail is one of Ella's patterns. If you would like to see what outline embroidery looks like on a crazyquilt block, visit Karen South's blog. Be sure to scroll all the way down because she has several photos with beautiful embroidery and much of it outline work.

Halloween Block #2 Complete
I finished this piece yesterday afternoon while watching a 2 hour show about Moonshiners and Rumrunners on The History Channel. Facinating!
Anyway, I'll be starting on #3 in the next day or so. I'd like to stitch one of my vintage transfer designs first and I'm just itching to stitch one of Gina's peacocks! Sure wish I didn't have to sleep!

100 Details In 100 Days - Day 54
I'm running a bit late today. We just returned from a huge antique flea market in Elkhorn Wisconsin where I hit the jackpot on vintage embroidery patterns!
Todays detail is kind of a repeat. I offered this as a complimentary design on my website a few years back. I'm sure it will be new to many of my readers and it would certainly make for a lovely crazyquilt focal point!
