Butterflies on Quilts & Fabric Art

Quilters and fabric artists use many types of embellishments for their art, especially for wall hangings, fabric boxes, “inchies”, postcards and other projects.  These may be antique items, buttons, keys, charms, and items you’ve made.

I discovered delightful tatted butterflies at Noreen’s Hankering for Yarn blog that would be ideal for quilted and fabric art projects.  You might want to take a look at the butterflies Noreen is making for her daughter’s wedding dress, as well as for original purse designs.

(Here’s some additional instructions for making tatted butterflies.  Noreen also takes lovely photos of her work.)
