A fabulous update on the Peacock one and your new start is very intereeting

[Mabel Figworthy]

I love the subtle flower behind the butterflies!

Jo, I offer no apology - that book is a treasure and I recommend it to all and sundry, even if they aren' stitchers

[Steam.Jo]

Thank you Ladies for patiently following along and an extra thank you to Mabel for showing your book to us. I took my copy to the sewing group on Friday and it got a lot of interest.

Weekly update time... I have put my Peacock to one side and have been working on the Butterflies:



I feel the frame round the central panels is bringing the central Butterflies to life and am looking forward to having it framed on my bedroom wall

[Roland]

This is so gorgeous. Coming along. Nicely.

[wendywombat]

I can see why you're impatient to get that on your bedroom wall.

The butterflies are vibrant against the creams and yellows.

[Steam.Jo]

I realised this morning that I had scrolled up some of my Butterfly piece without showing it to you So before I continue (and forget ) a quick pic of the bits I have done:



Now I can scroll back down without a worrying about missing a bit

Jo

[Podolyanka]

Thank you for sharing. What a beautiful work!

[Roland]

So lovely!

[rcperryls]

This is one of the most delicate designs! I love it and look forward to your updates!

Carole

[Mabel Figworthy]

Getting ever more beautiful!

[Squirrel]

A beautiful update and so lovely and colourful.

[Steam.Jo]

I've been heading down the two sides and have reached the top of the lower bamboo "framing bar", lower down you can see I have run across a line of black thread - that is the bottom of the piece.



This piece is taking longer than I expected and it is beginning to feel that I won't get it finished this side of Christmas .

Jo

[rcperryls]

This is such an incredibly lovely piece! If you had planned it as a Christmas Gift, the receiver I'm sure would be more than willing to wait for it. I'd wait as long as it took. You have made wonderful progress and the finish is in sight!

Carole

[Serinde]

I agree with Carole. Goodness, anyone would be delighted to receive this — beautiful and a labour of love.

[Podolyanka]

You have a whole month in front of you, I am sure you will have it finished on time. Happy stitching!
