The butterfly was another challenge. It had to look light and airy but yet sit in front of the zinnias. Thanks to the magic of Basketweave Twill, one of my favorite stitches, and beads I was able to make that happen.

One more flower and one more butterfly and this gorgeous canvas will be complete. Hmmmm, how shall we stitch them? More beads? More ribbons? Must go play.

This is SO CUTE! I am so jealous of my stitching sister, for fitting this into her lineup! Great job, Ruth!
You could always join her. Maybe it's on your list for 2010.
Can you believe it? 2010?
Let's not talk about 2010, ok? I don't like time flying like this!
The zinnias look great and the butterfly isn't overwhelmed by them. I was afraid it would be. Nice job, Ruth.
Ruth,
The zinnias are just beautiful. You did an absolutely fantastic job on the piece. I will be picking it up again tonight to work on. Hope to catch up before the next class.
