Perhaps you're giving me too much credit here 😂, but yes, I put a lot of thought into making it work.

Thank you! I'm glad that came through. I needed to have some way of distinguishing the reflection from the 'real' thing.

Not so far off, given that they're both green! 💚😊

I used to cross stitch, but I was too slow at it. I prefer the 'speed' of embroidery (though it is hardly a fast hobby) 😊

Caria chrysame psittacus butterfly (say that 3 times fast!)
🧶
This is the 2nd butterfly I've made in as many weeks. I'll probably move on to something else for a while, but it never lasts too long. I love making moths and butterflies! 🦋

It's one of my favorite patterns. I've done several pieces on it. It's called Thatched by Moda fabrics

Thank you! My goal is to keep making them until I have no wall space left to display them 😊
