The fabric was received with bugs drawn on and thread to get started. I stitched outside the diamond (which would ultimately be the fold/stitch line for placing them on the coat) to anchor the ground fabric to the backing/stabilizing fabric, then began stitching.
I used a variety of stitches - stem, split and reverse chain for the body and the outlines of the wings, and some needle lace for the wings. I wanted the bodies to have plenty of texture, so used different stitches and different directions.
Very short post today, because I am still madly stitching away at a project for a *very* close deadline. It will be worth it, though, and the post after the first weekend in October should have plenty to say as a result. There may not be a post tomorrow, between that same frantic stitching and an errand to run.
Have a thready week!
