I'm blogging quite early today. We're heading out to a flea market this morning, if the weather holds out, so I thought I'd get this posted early for everyone to enjoy.
Another of my fractal designs for use in your crazyquilts, scrapbooking, fabric postcards or altered art.

Pink Purse Continued
While trying to decide on where to go with this yesterday, I remembered that beautiful vintage pin that I bought at a flea market last Summer so I tried it, and fit the space perfectly! I really liked the way the blue rhinestones looked with the pink fabric so as you can see, I decided on blue to embellish this block.
I'll have time to stitch on this later today so I should have another update on it tomorrow.

It's busy, but it's bright! Yes, another cloudy, dreary day here in northern Illinois!

Pink Purse - Next Project
This will be my next crazyquilt project. A pink purse with piecing done in velveteen, silk, cotton with metallic and a pink chiffon or organza with foil.
I wanted you to see how I do this so I made sure some of the edge shows in the photo. I allow 1/2 inch seams on my blocks which I trim down once the sewing is complete and I mark the sewing line with hand basting. Once the stitching is complete, I pull the basting thread out, trim on the outside line and then sew where the basting line was.
This is a new style for me. It has a point at the bottom and I'd like to add a fancy tassel to it when it's done.
I'm off to put some miles on my sewing machine. I plan to finish my Clover block into a purse, sew up a custom CQ block, finish 2 doorknockers and sew up a CQ block for a Christmas gift. And if all goes well, have some time to start stitching on this purse today! Do I cram too much into my day?

100 Details In 100 Days - Day 94
It's a dark, dreary, rainy day here on the Illinois/Wisconsin border! So, for today's detail, I thought a bright, cheerful yellow fractal would be the perfect design to add some light to the day. At least for me, anyway!
