I completed the finishing on this yesterday. The trim that I used around the outside is a bit thick so it was rather challenging to handsew on but I got it and does this bag sparkle! My husband, who generally doesn't care for crazyquilting, told me that this is one of the prettiest ones I've made so far.
I added a vintage rhinestone button a the top with a loop for closure. The beads at the bottom are a predone beaded fringe. I think in the future, I'll hand bead the bottom of my bags once the trim is on. I wanted to hand bead this one but my Michaels store was out of green bugle beads so I decided to use something from my excessive stash instead. Yes, if I sold my stash, I could pay off the national debt! But what fun would that be?!!!

100 Details In 100 Days - Day 97
Today's detail is a design for a teacup. You may want to size it down a bit for an embroidered crazyquilt motif but it would make for a lovely themed block. You could also use an applique method and then embroider the details to that.

100 Details In 100 Days - Day 96
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.

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!
