Fabric Chunky Page – Butterfly

chunky_fab5a

I made this chunky fabric page for a swap.  I started by piecing together brightly colored cotton fabric in “quilting style”.  I added some heart shaped buttons and a piece of black satin ribbon to make the butterfly.  I added letter beads to spell “FLY HIGH” and some detail stitching to finish.

I used felt to pad the middle and backed the page with cotton fabric.  I added a flowered ribbon to dress up the back.  I added a small stitched piece of 14 ct. Aida fabric to add my info to the page.

I completed the page by using embroidery floss to do a dense blanket stitch around the edge and adding coordinating fibers.

I love the bright and happy colors used on this page!
