Butterflies Applique are simple designs, but sometimes simple is just what you need. Still, they have just the right amount of detail to show off your fabric and thread choices. My sewouts, as shown here, are from scraps of fabric and specialty threads that somehow accumulated in my studio (sewing gremlins, I suppose). As 4×4 designs I’ve been able to fit them nicely into larger project that begged for a little something extra. Of course, it helps that I have pretty good collection of floral design sets. And, while I didn’t sequence them as free-standing applique, I have broken the rules once or twice and “lifted them off the fabric” for an added bit of dimension. I hope you’ll find room for butterflies in your embroidery, for it beats bats in the belfry any day.

"When people ask for time, it's always for time to say no. Yes has one
more letter in it, but it doesn't take half as long to say."

Narrated by the author
"The conception of people acting against their own best interests
should not startle us. We see it occasionally in sleep-walking and in
politics, every day."
"Creativity is merely a plus name for regular activity. Any activity
becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right, or better."
― John Updike
