This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Butterflies by Sarah Paxton Ball Dodson shows a lovely young girl whose voluminous head of hair has been tied up with ribbon while she is focused intently on the delicate art of capturing butterflies. As they flutter around, she seems entranced by the beating of their delicate wings. She apparently is feeding them some sweet nectar of sorts that would attract them, and others are hovering over the bowl. This is a child who is close to nature and appreciates it. No blended colors are used in butterfly cross stitch pattern. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect. Only full cross stitches are used in our designs.
