Thanks to vacation, and time stuck keeping the kitties happy while the windows were installed, I managed to finish the butterfly!!!
It’s not the exact colours the pattern called for, but it’s close enough to butterflies and moths I’ve seen in my own garden, so I’m good with it.
Even though all those little Xs are done, the project isn’t. This one requires quite a bit of outlining. But it will be well worth it.
And I should be able to finish it by next Tuesday!
Stay tuned!

It’s stunning! And it looked impossible in the beginning and beautiful at its almost-end!

Beautiful!
Isn’t it amazing how backstitching changes a project. It may sometimes be a bugger to do, but it is always worth it.
