A sweet friend gave me a collection of butterflies cut from feed sacks. They had been in her mother's sewing things but probably came from her grandmother. She thought I might like to do something with them. She was right!
I'm fusing them to muslin and using a machine blanket stitch with black thread. I've chosen a tiny dot fabric to use for their little bodies and I plan to stitch antennae in black.
I think I'm going to set them in rows and use a wide solid sashing. But that could change.
Enjoy every stitch!

Oh that sounds so pretty. What a wonderful gift.
ReplyDeleteI'm not really a butterfly fan, but these look rather sweet! Good job you.:)
