yesterday we got the second pattern for our embroidery quilt along. and may i say, it's awesome. i had a lot of fun stitching this pattern last night while watching Dear John - and i'm still not sure if i like that movie. it gives me an 'almost crying' headache. anyway.....
since starting this pattern, i've fallen in love with satin stitch (pictured here, it's the butterfly body and spots). why have i not tried this before now!? it's beautiful! without meaning to blow my own horn, it looks pretty rad. i'll have to come up with some more uses for this stitch in my craftiness at home. i think i've managed to successfully master the french knots too (the tips of the antennae). they were always scary to me before, but no longer! i could sit and make french knots all day long...
i'm glad i'm doing this quilt along. i'm learning so much already. and it's only week two! :D
