23rd Apr 2024

The start of our new series, which I do hope you will enjoy. A Flower and butterfly sampler. The butterflys are worked in Blackwork which I think makes the sampler a bit different, and I hope, it will also encourage those of you to give it a try if you haven't used this technique before. I always think of it as 'taking a backstitch for a walk!'

Each of the motifs will make lovely individual designs for cards if you don't...
