I finished this project last night. The only other thing I might add is a satin ribbon bow to the rose stem.
I plan to do some finishing later this week. I want to finish this, my peacock handbag and a few other things.
My husband took this off the frame last night for me and told me that it didn't meet the weight requirement! Ha, ha, ha! He's too funny sometimes!

100 Details In 100 Days - Day 84
Of all the fractal designs I've done over the years, this one has always been my favorite. I was looking through some things on my computer yesterday and remembered that I have several from a few years back that I use quite often for greeting cards.
I'm sure with a little imagination, you can work this into a gorgeous quilt!

Autumn Rose Block
It rained here all day yesterday. As you can see, I had alot of time to focus on stitching!
I've been working with my Carol Samples book and trying to do some different stitches rather than relying on the old faithfuls that I always use. Instead of my traditional feather stitch, I did the maidenhair stitch. And being that it has a floral theme, I of course had to add a spider web. I really like doing them.
I've also been using 10 count waste canvas on this piece rather than my usual 8.5 count. It makes the stitches a bit smaller.
When I complete this, I'll be making it into a handbag for my Esty Boutique.
And speaking of my shop, I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in some ready-to-stitch pieced blocks? I imagine I have some readers who would love to try crazyquilting but are without a sewing machine or maybe you don't know how to do the foundation piecing.
Please give me some feedback on this. If anyone is interested in something like that, I can sew up a few and post them in my shop.

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!

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.
