Patty writes: "The butterfly was a gift to a young girl at church who was redecorating her bedroom to something a little more grown up. I said I would make her a butterfly to put in her new butterfly bedroom. Then I asked what color it should be. She answered green and purple and pointed out examples of the exact shades. So I did it. The butterfly pattern is from the Lace magazine and was designed by Radmila Zuman. The thread I used was a little thin, (Presencia Finca size 16 pearl cotton, great colors) so I added a couple of passives in the wings. The color also added the problem of keeping the right colors in the right place, so that took a little extra fiddling. All in all, a definite wing spreading experience." Patty Dowden |
