    Well, that's true, you didn't.

    I'd love to have the patterns for the embroidery shown in the blog.

    Tried to figure out where they came from, but couldn't seem to find it.

    Does anyone have a clue where to get them. Too too cute!

    pal,
    i believe that the butterflies are on a printed fabric, not an embroidery design. i'll bet if you blogged her, she would tell you. you might have to sign up for her blog, but you can always unsubscribe after.

    opps! my mistake. wrong thing.

    why not blow it up, tape a paper over your screen and trace?
    if you click on it, it blows up. you do mean the house and the tree thingie, right? and the bird on the antenna?

    The place mat kinda reminds me of a convergence quilt, I wonder if it would look better on a bigger scale?
    I do give her kudos for trying something out of the box!!! :wink:

    Thanks, Butterflywing. Tracing it is a good idea.

    There appears to be two different series that she is embroidering, so I
    think there are a couple more in each series. I think I will write to her
    and ask. Thanks again!

    it kind of reminds me of a bento box idea. i agree about her out-of-box experience.
