I do have a butterfly quilt made by my grandmother’s sister..She used what looks like silk crepe for the butterfly appliques..The butterfly fabric rotted, leaving the embroidered border on most squares.
I keep it because the back of the quilt shows the outlines and I love it..
I did crewel work once..That is the extent of my needlework..I have 2 framed crewel butterfly things I did years ago.

LOL I used to quilt. Used to crochet. Used to do crosstitch/embroidery. Used to make a lot of my/my kid’s clothes. Used to. :)

I have the butterfly quilt I made my gma. She had it with her in the hosp when she died. It’s in the bottom of my cedar chest. Gma’s been gone about 20 years. Still can’t get the quilt out.
