ReplyDeleteI love the butterflies! They are so pretty. I'm sure P is going to love her room when it is all done, especially since it is all her own. :) One of these days I'm going to learn how to embroider...
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying these butterflies a lot. I've sometimes thought about doing a large embroidery project like this, but never have.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 400th post, too!
You are truly a talented embroiderer.
ReplyDeleteSunshine,
ReplyDeleteThose butterflies are fantastic! Would love to see the finished project. I bet it will look great. You are blessed with creativity that's for sure.

Sunshine - your butterflies look great! What kind of embroidery floss are you using? It looks nicer than what I use.
ReplyDeleteAdd me to the drawing too please!
On this project I am using DMC pearl cotton size 5
ReplyDeleteso very nice. I too don't know how you do it all. these butterflies are just too cute.do you have patterns for the butterflies or did you freehand draw them then start stitching away?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 400th post. The butterflies are beautiful. Ican't wait to see the finished curtains.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering, what's your favourite method for transferring embroidery designs to your fabric for stitching?
ReplyDeleteI use an iron on pencil but sometimes you get a line that isn't covered completely and the kind of pencil I use doesn't wash off so I'm stuck with it.
I tend to use a red fine tip permanent marker when doing red work. A normal pencil most other times. I am not fond of the wash out markers they are not always wash out so sometimes you think it is ok to have a line showing because it will wash out then it doesn't and then your stuck with an ugly line. With pencil I know I have to cover the line. With red ink (permanant ink) I know if a little shows from my red work no one will know but me.
ReplyDeleteHello Sunshine :o)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful butterflies...You do such awesome stitching! I love looking at all of your projects :o)
