Another trapunto butterfly made for Karen, a quilter friend of mine who lives in South Africa.
Karen had seen my butterfly and asked if I could do her one in purples. No problem.
I used exactly the same method as before and I still don't like having to cut the wadding away from the back.
It's just so nerve wracking!

I love how the early morning light shows up the trapunto in this photo.

I have a full free day ahead of me - and a full list of works in progress - just don't know what to work on next. DH modified my darning foot on my new sewing machine, so I can actually see where I am going now. Have a great weekend - I'm off to do lots of sewing now.

I love the color purple. I really like your pictures. Beautiful. I also want such a thing! : D
Gorgeous, as always! Can you link up with TGIFF? Will it let you add your link? :)
love the purples, the butterfly looks like it is about to lift off
Thank you for your comments Edit, Laura and Linda. Laura I am trying to link up with TGIFF - please bear with me - sometimes I'm not very good at this computer stuff :(
Just stopped by from Quilter Blogs to enjoy your lovely textile work. Your trapunto pieces are beautiful--exquisite work.

This is just stunning!! Gosh, it makes me want to try one. Looks like you have multiple trapunto layers on the butterfly? Not just one? What batting did you use? I can imagine how nervous it'd be to cut it away - probably worse that cutting the background out from behind an applique piece.
Love the trapunto and beautiful quilting, A gorgeous quilt!
Wow, Rhianon, this is gorgeous! Your machine quilting is beautiful and I love that butterfly. Thanks for linking up to TGIFF!
Another beautiful butterfly! It makes me want to get some coloured pencils.
I'm looking forward to where you take this idea. A big quilt would be absolutely stunning!
That's really stunning! I'm visiting from TGIFF
You do gorgeous work. Love your blog.
Thanks to everyone who has visited and left such lovely comments. Lynn - I used 2 layers of the polyester batting (because it's fluffier), then a final layer of Hobbs Heirloom 80/20.
This is gorgeous!! I am visiting from TGIFF.
Oh my gosh how beautiful! Love your work and my husband modified my foot too.
Wow, that butterfly is amazing!
