I have managed a break between entertaining the g'kids and thought I'd better add some of the insects I've started. I have the yellow butterfly in stages here. I found it is easier to fill the wing before buttonholing the edge as it looks better. When I buttonholed first, it left the edge raised. I made a boo boo with the largest wing and covered the wire with yellow, so I went over it with black. It's a bit thicker than the underwing, but unless I hate it when I sew it onto the material, I will leave it as is. There are two flower wasp wings and a set of dragonfly wings also.

A place to share with others - my love of needlework and Crazy Quilting which my daughter introduced me into some time ago.

These will look gorgeous when done. What type of wire do you use Maureen?
There is nothing on this block that isn;t wonderful! The yellow rose tree......the iris under it....the little wee flower seam....and the meandering ribbon are too too much. I am so happy that you posted these! ktj
