Today's detail is a cardinal bird. Crayon tint him or stitch him as is. And you can certaily leave the holly off you like. I thought it would be a nice addition for a Christmas themed crazyquilt.
Happy Stitching!

100 Details In 100 Days - Day 82
Today's detail is another Fractal design that you can use to make your own fabric sheets using either commercial inkjet fabric or another method of transfering images to fabric.
This is suitable for crazyquilting, greeting cards, scrapbooking or altered art.

100 Details In 100 Days - Day 81
Today's crazyquilt detail is an alphabet for personalizing your crazyquilt projects. The lower case letters are a cursive alphabet. The bottom row shows how the letters connect to each other.
Enjoy!

A Wee Bit O' Me Plunder!
As promised, I thought I'd share a few photos of the fun things I found in Galena. First are some beautiful yarns that I bought in the yarn shop. They had a whole basket full of these little 3 yard skeins for textile artists:
The beads came from a shop called, The Bead Bar. These black beads also came from The Bead Bar:
One of my prize finds was this highly sought after book by Carol Samples, The Treasury Of Crazy Quilt Stitches. I found this in a fabric store called Phat 1/4's :
And as you can see by this block which I started on last night, I'm already putting my new book to good use:
When I complete this project, I'll most likely finish it into a handbag for my Etsy Boutique.
I bought some other things too including a gorgeous beaded Victorian style handbag. I'll post a photo of that tomorrow.

A Small Finish
I started this little project before we went to Galena and completed it yesterday afternoon:
The fabric is muslin which I hand-dyed myself. You may remember that this pattern is one of my 100 Details In 100 Days designs. I stitched it using a varigated thread and one strand of Kreinik Blending Filament. I then went a bit crazy with the beads!
If you would like to stitch this pattern, you can find it here on my Flickr site.
