Since I finished the purple butterfly on my way back from San Francisco the other week, I thought that I would take a minute to show off the entire rainbow of Just Nan heart butterflies:
I can’t wait to turn this into a bellpull, though the choice of fabrics will be a challenge. Do I go with a fabric for each butterfly that coordinates with it and piece them all together into one big rainbow? I’m afraid it will be too … strident, or something. Otherwise, finding a neutral fabric that goes with all of the butterflies without being totally blah and boring may be impossible.
I guess I won’t know until I make some time to go to Joann and start looking!
I also have some new finishes to share. Both are by Janie Hubble Designs and can be obtained by signing up for her free newsletter.
First is Be Mine Sweet Valentine, the bookmark version:
And second is Peacock Feathers. I did two of these so that I can make them into a bookmark, like The Flower Juggler’s Bookmark.
That’s it for me for now. I’ll be stitching a good bit this weekend, as I’ve been ill and am trying to take it easy. I doubt that I’ll have another finish to show off by Monday, but you never know! 😉
I’ve never seen that Just Nan pattern before. It’s really sweet and your butterflies look great. What about finding some rainbow type fabric to use for the bellpull? That way they’d all go together without the color changes jumping out at you but still be bright and cheerful. Good luck finding something.
I like Janie’s second design a lot. Mist go check out her website and see what she’s up to there days.

Your butterflies look fantastic! What about a bright spring like fabric that has a lot of the colours in it? I hope you find something suitable at Joanne’s.
Your Be Mine Sweet Valentine bookmark is sweet. I like all of the eyelets. 🙂
Enjoy your weekend Jenna!
