The People Chose: Butterflies

 It's the first Saturday of June, and thus time for Jo's wonderfully versatile all-purpose People's Choice SAL! This month the subject is butterflies, and to my surprise I found I never really stitched any of those. I finished several projects that have butterflies, but always just as a small piece of a bigger design:






One of my current projects also has some tiny butterflies - this is Nan's Garden, a (not quite current) SAL at the Just Nan Junkies facebook group. I *should* have finished this in May, but still need to finish the last three bands + beads, so I'm a little bit behind! I've been distracted by lots of elephant stitching but hope to catch up soon.

Butterflies are a nice addition to needlework. You’ve done some lovely pieces that include butterflies!

Pretty butterfly stitching even if they are not the main focus of the piece, Leonore. I do love those tiny turtles in the last piece... Just Nan always has such darling creatures in her designs, doesn't she? Enjoy your week ahead ♥

Thanks for taking part in The People's Choice this month. Like me, you have butterflies as smaller motifs in a lot of designs! Mostly Just Nan for me.
I do like the Joan Elliott biscornu too.

So many lovely butterflies. I think I love the Garden one the best.

Love the bunny and butterfly biscornu and, of course, the reminder of your Zoe Box. I think butterflies are best when they are little complementary features in a design. :)
