My own version
(relying on the floss I had on hand)..
The most difficult part of these cross stitcheries
is to make each side a mirror image of the other...
I "almost" succeeded...;000
A N D
After a while stitching, those crosses
begin to move on their own (!!)
[I almost re-named this one "Poor Butterfly" as I had to
un-stitch a lot of the crosses that went all wonky..]
So, a real S L O W stitching project
for sure...
My next {un-biologically correct} butterfly will
be all shades of pink.

Here is my 4th of July Table topper
STAR SPANGLED
Working on this one reminded me
of a funny story my friend Deanna
(who was a music teacher) told me..
She was walking alongside her charges
during a 4th of July Town parade;
And
when they weren't playing their instruments
she was to remind the boys marching along to wave their little flags.
BUT,,,
In the heat of the moment
she called out
"Flag your flies, boys!!"
O O P S E Y ..;000
Typical Deanna;))))
aka Mrs. Malaprop.
I love that waving flag fabric..
All the fabrics, except the white background,
came from a charm pack...
This was a quick and fun project...
And this has been the sum of my sewing over the past two weeks...
I am now at rest after my
Two-week stint:
Binding
"Whirling Dervish Act"
👯👯👯
I hope you are staying cool in this heat and humidity
Stay safe
