I love all kinds of butterflies on my blocks.. Sometimes I buy the lace ones, sometimes I embroider them, sometimes I bead them or do them with ribbon embroidery.. But quite often I "build" them from lace. This is especially so when I need a certain size or lacy-ness. Such was the case today. I wanted to match another piece of delicate lace on this month's CQJP... So I found a similar lace motif and cut off the two ends.. That still left enough of the motif to us for something else...
If you look at any lace or doily, pretty soon you see butterfly wings in it..

Your butterfly has worked a treat, I have never tried lace making, yours is beautufuy
I love butterflies too. They want to be everywhere on my blocks but sometimes I just have to restrain myself because what I'm working on isn't butterfly suitable. Now you have shown me another way to make them. Yes!
Thats pretty cool. I didn't see the butterfly until you put it together!!
Thanks for sharing that, Gerry!

I adore how your eyes saw the butterfly wings. Such beauty in everything!
