Last month, I tried a padded satin stitch for the first time. I thought the end results looked like cocoons, so today is the day we get to see the butterfly that emerged from one of the cocoons. This isn't a realistic butterfly design. I didn't base it on a real butterfly, but rather some of my favorite Sublime Stitching colors (Amazonite, Canned Mandarin, and Honeysuckle). Eventually, I'll design a more realistic butterfly, but this is a good start.
Details:
Stitches: whipped back stitch, back stitch, stem stitch, satin stitch, fishbone, French knots
Thread palette: SS 504 (3 strands), SS 204, 804 (2 and 3 strands), DMC 310 (2, 3, and 6 strands)
