"Inchies"

"Inchies"
Well, here's my version of  Inchies. Not all quite an inch of course and not quite lined up - of course that's all I can see when I look at it now :-) Much fun was had in the making of this. Lots of I really like this homemade felt made by my sister. If you look closely it has a sort of marbled effect with darker threads going across it. Bit of a pig to work with as it leaves bits of blue fluff all over. 

For the Flower stitch I managed to make the cord plunge, pleased with how it lies.

Embedded butterfly
 The butterfly took a bit of fixing. Made holes in the fabric, pushed the two posts through and anchored it at the back. I think it goes tho, and it won't come off in a hurry :-)

                  
Buttons, beads and lace

Net and beads

With added herringbone
 I felt my diamond stitch square needed something more so I've tried it with herringbone stitch on top. I prefer the effect viewed from afar.

So far
