I have been working slowly and steadily on my butterfly project. They are die cut (SX) from colourful fabric and stitched to squares of blue fabric. I did a blanket stitch all the way around to secure the butterflies to the square and then filled them in with running stitch in a variety of configurations and colours. I added the antennae and bodies in satin stitch with black embroidery thread once I finished stitching the wings. I gave them each a fun flight path too in black running stitch. I have several other ideas in my head and I am looking forward to getting started once a bit of free time shows up.

ReplyDeleteThese butterflies are marvellous! I love the texture you're creating with all those stitches!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if your blog accepts comments since my first one disappeared, but I'll try again and see. Love the texture you are getting with the butterfly stitching!
