Stitch by tiny stitch, I’m building a butterfly

And it’s starting to look like an actual butterfly now. I should be a little bit further, but I had to do some ripping at the top of that wing – I had missed a few stitches and things were not lining up. I could have fudged it, but since the other wing is a mirror image, I would have to remember how I fudged it – and I know I’d never be able to remember.
So, I got out the seam ripper and slowly started picking it apart. I lost about an hours worth of work, but it actually when much easier than I thought it would… because those stitches are TINY! Still, I’m enjoying making every one of them!
Those mirror images can be a beast to stitch! Looks like a very nice start.

I like the black background; don’t see that often.

That black fabric would do me in but it’s very striking. Picking out stitches is a specialty of mine since I do it so often. Apparently counting is not something I’m very good at.

That is beautiful. I’m sorry you had to pick out some stitches but to make it right is usually worth it.
Blessings,

Off to a good start even if there was a little stutter!

That is going to be a beautiful butterfly and the black fabric makes it more spectacular. I would never be able to stitch that on black.
