. The first picture here is the machine embroidered label that Quilter's Corner provided to all participants. We weren't required to use them, but they are so darn cute, who could resist?The next photo is the back, showing the "sleeve" that can be used to run a wooden dowel through for hanging. Each upper wing has a sleeve.
The third photo is a close up of the body, showing the eye and antenna. The antenna is just a black chenille stem. I thought about covering it with fabric, but the fuzziness works for me.
And lastly, ta-da! The finished ugly duckling butterfly. It measures 29" from wingtip to wingtip, and about 19" from top to bottom. Will the recipient like it, hate it, or say, "Oh, that's nice"? I'll have to let you know after June 9th. What do you think she'll say?

I don't know what the recipient will say, but I say Wonderful. All the great embroidery motifs, and the delicate stitching! Looks like a 'swan' to me!
Janet I love it! Is it for me?

I would hate to have to part with it. It is beautiful!! You done a fantastic job. Wished I was the one to get it. (g) If she doesn't like it then something is diffinately wrong with her.
