Monarch and Friends
| Stitcher: | Jeannette Hein |
| Designer: | Jeannette Hein |
| Location: | In the stitcher's home, in front of her sofa where she stitches on her projects |
| Description: | Jeannette's inspiration for this piece came from a
photograph in the National Wildlife Magazine of
a monarch butterfly resting on a flower. She designed
three more blossoms and added leaves. Then she decided he
needed some friends, so she added the bee, spider,
ladybug and caterpillar around the edge. Jeannette stitched this piece because she wanted a footstool to prop her feet up while she stitched, and because she is a lover of nature she chose this beautiful butterfly. Jeannette's husband designed and built the footstool. He is a very fine woodworker and always eager to build anything she needs to fit a piece of needlework. They are a team. |
