Today I'm showing you an edging and sharing a message that Jane McLellan sent me. She's used one of the simple SCMR butterflies for this project. Anyway, here's what she says.
I thought you might like to see this edging, done with your SCMR butterflies. The thought process goes like this: on the 25 motif challenge, I saw a bookmark with butterflies and flowers. Lovely. Then I thought how I turned your flowery book mark into an edging. Could I turn that one into an edging? How about just butterflies? Didn't take too very long to work out that they would have to face different ways to get a straight edging! Voila. I think it worked well. I've also successfully used your squares to make 'corner decorations' for a teashower, rainbow dyed cotton in the middle and yellow round the edges.

Very pretty Jane! That looks a pretty similar to something I did for a bookmark in the 'Round Robin' Where I used a butterfly edging pattern by Rebecca Jones only I changed the pattern so that the butterflies alternated like this one to lay straight for a bookmark. It was really simple too, especially for those who don't know how to use the SCMR technique yet.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing such a pretty edging!
Cute little butterfly edging. I have a butterfly and flower-vine insertion that I need to figure out how to write it down. That is the hard part for me. I really admire you design charting skills, Jane. I wish I had them...lol
