Hello my friends! 

I really hope you’re enjoying the bank holiday weekend if you’re in the UK or just enjoying a nice normal weekend generally!

The week before last I posted all about exploring Penlee Battery nature reserve where I met many, many beautiful butterflies and even a few day flying moths. I really enjoyed being able to spot so many Marbled White butterflies and thought I would create an embroidered version for my collection.

These amazing black and white checkerboard butterflies have a real life wingspan of around 5.5cm and are considered to be a medium size chap! I only created a female as there aren’t too many differences between the two sexes.

My needlework Marbled white has a wingspan of more or less 11cm and she’s #16 of my needlework butterfly quest.

I’ve kinda renamed the chessboard butterfly and I’m so pleased with how she turned out! 

Well that’s it for this week…I’m 90% certain I’ve got next weeks post sorted already. Thank you so much for checking this out and I wish you a wondrous week ahead.

Ps. If you want to have a look at my other butterflies they’re HERE!
