I added a butterfly with a different piece of the lacey cloth. Up close, the butterflys body has a faint outline. Its my first experience with the dye in the thread bleeding but its not enough to bother me that much (though it did rub a bit on the white flower…)

My embroidery guild always has an annual challenge of some type and this year was our “Hoop-D-Do” project, whereby we were to create a work using specific stitches to be displayed in the hoop itself. My display of flowers in a “wood” bowl speaks the 70s to me. And, as usual, I didn’t stick to the rules well and added my own flare – ha!
it’s beautiful!
The butterfly turned out great. Blue is perfect, and the purple sets it off. Can’t wait to see the completed cover. 🙂
How funny. I get to see this lovely thing everyday!!! :+)
I am glad you like it!
