Butterfly cushions for girl gifts also made it on to my FAL Qtr 4 goals list. Now that they are all stitched up I'm pleased to be able to breathe a sigh of relief that when I finally find some time to think about Christmas shopping in actual shops, these are three less to have to scurry around for!
I drafted up a quick design for these 18" butterflies keeping the piecing very simple and I'm quite happy with the result. They each were quilted with a few lines of echo quilting in the wings as you can see above and then given pretty fabric backs with co-ordinating zip enclosure flaps. I really should have photographed the backs to show you because they are very sweet, but it is taking all my time to find decent enough light for the ipad camera to cope with just getting a reasonable pic of the main items these days, especially since most of my finishes happen late at night! Anyway, I'm sure you can imagine pretty backings for yourselves ;-)
Pleased to be checking off that FAL list again! 3 down 3 more to go ....
