Hi Everyone,

I've been home for a couple of hours from my 2nd Cursillo training day. I took all the Butterfly Zipper Purses and the Butterfly Eyeglass cases - and guess what? The team of which there are 16 including me - would like to have the Butterfly zipper purse! So it looks like I'll be making some more!

On another note - does anybody know where I could find a beautiful butterfly bookmark - either applique or FSL?

Remember I told you earlier I would be bombarding you with Butterflies!

Love and blessings Chris

WOW! I love the last one from Secrets of Embroidery. I've actually bought one from A Stitch a half which is a little one that hooks on to the top of your page and then I saw a Mobile phone cover and got that too! Love Chris
by shirlener88 19 May 2012
Great - can't wait to see what you got and how you are going to use them.
by shirlener88 19 May 2012
I just looked in my designs - I have that one - I bought it last November - I just haven't stitched it out, yet.

My that will be hard for Chris to choose one from. Maybe she had better make 1 of each. lol
by hightechgrammy 19 May 2012
Knowing Chris, she probably WILL make one of each - LOL!
Butterflies must just make great bookmarks! I love them all!

These are beautiful!

Thanks Shirlene for these pictures. I will have to mark this to check and see if I have these designs and/or where to go when I want more butterflies. Can't get too many.

You will find an appliqué butterfly bookmark in your mail inbox. It's 2.31 x 4.3 inches and 5,064 stitches. Thought you might like one to match some of the purses.
Let me know if anything needs fixing as it can be difficult getting the density right when reducing the size, even when it's a design you digitised yourself. LOL!!!
Hugs n love, me

That's beautiful, Martine, and it goes with the others!
by pldc 19 May 2012
oh this is beautiful too & again is it up for all of us cuties? If not that's ok too, Hugs Loralye
by mops 19 May 2012
This is only a rough idea, I still have to vary the fill stitching and adjunct the size.
by pennifold 20 May 2012
That is beautiful Martine, can you put a little hole at the bottom so I can pull a ribbon through it? Love Chris
by momhome 20 May 2012
I like this one too.
by mops 20 May 2012
I added a hole, played with the fill stitches and made it two colours yesterday evening. Saw your comment just now, so I emailed you the design. See what you think of it. Martine

It is a religious retreat for either men or woman (& some have both) (sperate sleeping quarters of course)It is a spiritual re-awakening that is mean't to bring you closer to God! It is usually for the weekend & they are held every year & sometimes more than once depending on the response, Hope this helps, hugs Loralye
by pennifold 20 May 2012
Loralye has given you a great answer. Have a look at Cursillo on the internet. It's a great weekend. I've been on team 4 times - each one is better than the last. Mum is coming on this one I hope. Love Chris
