Are you a fan of flowers and butterflies?
When I was in New Orleans for a trade show last year, I got caught in a downpour of rain and ended up finding shelter at the Insectarium. Usually I'm pretty squeamish when it comes to creepy crawly bugs, but this insectarium also had a butterfly room. So I was intrigued to say the least. After walking through the terrariums filled with various beetles, ants, spiders, and other insects, I found myself entering the butterfly room. And it was worth being creeped out to get in there!
The butterfly room was filled with a wide variety of plants and had hundreds of colorful butterflies flitting around. We weren't allowed to touch the butterflies, but some of them did decide to land on me for a quick second. Seeing so many species of butterflies with different pattern markings and designs was inspiring. Little did I know, this insectarium is the largest museum in North America dedicated to insects!
That evening, I spent time sketching out various butterfly inspired designs in different hoop shapes. I even started stitching a few during that trip. But something about those early designs weren't sitting right with me. So instead of continuing to force the pattern into being, I set the hoop aside. This winter I finally picked it up again. That time in between made it easy to come back to it, make a few changes, and love the design. And now Butterfly Garden is an intermediate embroidery kit you can stitch too!
Get a peek into what's included in the new Butterfly Garden kit, what you can expect from an intermediate embroidery kit, and find even more intermediate embroidery kits to stitch.
