I'm currently working on a Love Quilts Square, but I ran out of thread so I had to order some more. So, while I was waiting for the threads to arrive, I started a mini-cross stitch project of a butterfly that I got as a Secret Santa gift.
I took a few photos as I finished each colour because I thought the way that the colours blend together is just really pretty and effective.

| First dark blue.... |
 |
| ...then turquoise... |
 |
| ...and aqua green... |
 |
| ...then red and yellow highlights... |
 |
| ...and black... |
 |
| ...and then the leaves. |
 |
| Finally the back stitch on the leaves... |
 |
| ...and the back stitch around the butterfly and the words. Finished! |
I'm really happy with the finished product! I've trimmed the excess fabric off and threaded a piece of white ribbon through the top of the hoop so I can hang it in our hallway. As for my next project; those replacement threads arrived this morning so I can go back to that Love Quilts square!
