Hi good morning stitching world!
It is World Embroidery Day today, 30 July and to mark this special day, I thought I would show you how to make tiny little butterflies from silk ribbon. They are the sweetest butterflies ever!

My friend Karen Nell who has moved down to Knysna on the Garden Route in South Africa uses them as her signature on all her embroideries. Here is one that I particularly love, in one of our projects and kits,
Lady in Red ...

See the butterflies on the red roses in the bottom right-hand corner?
.
Don't you just love them? You can use this idea for card making or any other idea you may think of.
Here are the red roses without the butterflies...

I just love this image!

Here is a downloadable PDF for your collection where Karen explains how to make these gorgeous little creatures.

Enjoy and Happy World Embroidery Day!
Love
