Butterflies

I made some butterflies! I wanted to make butterflies that I actually see, so below you can see my red admiral and my cabbage white (along with a little sample of stem stitch around the outside.)

I really enjoyed making the cabbage white, because looking at the images up close, I could see so much detail in something that I thought was so simple.

I'm looking forward to sending this one off to its recipient, I think she might know who she is!
