Lynn G. stitched these two Brushstroke Butterfly pieces as part of the quilt gift we showed earlier, so you might recognize them from the quilt picture! Lynn also reminded me that butterflies are a symbol of hope, I love that.
It’s amazing how each butterfly is different even when it was stitched by the same stitcher! These four Brushstroke Butterfly finishes come from Maggi S. and she stitched them all for Cole’s Quilts. If you’re keeping score, that means these count as double entries in the April giveaway.

Teresa stitched her Brushstroke Butterfly for a breast cancer charity group raffle quilt. The group decided on using variegated threads or sulky threads and Teresa used Moss Medley Sulky
Very pretty! Thank you for sharing your stitching with us, Teresa!

Another day and another butterfly! All of the butterflies are amazing, but this one in particular is stitched over one on evenweave to magically transform into an ornament! Who said butterflies only transform one time? 😉 I was so delighted when Mindy entered the stash giveaway and shared this picture…
And how awesome are those colors!!? Great stitching, Mindy! <3 Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us. I’d love to see your version of Brushstroke Butterfly if you’ve stitched it – you can comment here on the blog with a link to your picture or contact me directly.

I am loving all the great Brushstroke Butterfly pictures folks are sharing with me during this giveaway event! This set of butterflies comes from JanDFL…
Here’s two pictures of my Brushstroke Butterfly finishes. This first one was for my granddaughter and the next was for a quilt for a friend.

Not long after I posted the announcement of this month’s special stash grab bag giveaway for those who have stitched Brushstroke Butterfly I received a lovely email from Barb H., who has stitched not one, not two, not a few, but eight Brushstroke Butterflies! And they are all amazing, wow! You might recognize a few from the quilt project I posted a photo of awhile ago.
Here are pictures of the 8 brushstroke butterflies that I’ve stitched for various charity quilts. Two of mine are on the quilt that Muskokalynn did for her friend. A number of the butterflies have gone to the Breast Cancer quilt projects and another to a Coles Quilts project, and a couple more for individual quilts.
Check out these beautiful photos she sent me:
If you’ve stitched Brushstroke Butterfly make sure to enter the grab bag giveaway and submit your pictures too. If you haven’t stitched it yet, there’s still plenty of time left in April if you’d like to give it a try. (By the way, in case you’re keeping count – that’s 16 entries in the giveaway for Barb!)
Happy Stitching!

Brushstroke Butterfly is probably the most popular free cross stitch design here at Stitching the Night Away and I love getting emails and seeing blog posts with pictures of everyone’s finished projects. I’ve been trying to gather them up for the Gallery of Finished Cross Stitch projects here on the site, but there are quite a lot of them spread across the web so I am here to ask for a little help on this – and of course reward you for stitching and sharing the design as well!
So, here’s the deal. I want to see your finished Brushstroke Butterfly and I’ll compile the images into the Gallery here on STNA and add them to Flickr as well. For every finished image you send me you’ll be entered into a giveaway for this lovely stash grab bag, just put together today right out of my own personal stash cabinet!
Stash Grab Bag Includes:
Leave a comment with a link to your finished project picture on the web and I’ll go check it out! If you haven’t uploaded your image to the web that’s okay, you can send your picture as an email attachment to loretta@stitchingthenightaway.com and still be entered in the giveaway.
Only projects of completed Brushstroke Butterfly patterns count for this giveaway! (But, don’t fret, there’s still time to stitch it if you haven’t yet AND we’ll be doing this with other patterns in the future!)
Yes, if you’ve stitched this design multiple times it counts as multiple entries! Yes, group projects such as Love Quilts entries count also, in fact Love Quilt submissions will count as double!
Contest is void where prohibited.
Location restrictions are being lifted for this one, so if you’re across the pond it’s all right, I will gladly ship to you on this particular giveaway and I look forward to seeing your entries!
You have until midnight Eastern Time on Friday April 29, 2011 to enter your project. After that a winner will be selected at random and announced here. I will also notify the winner by email to collect their shipping details for the stash package.
