Thank you. This quilt was a struggle, as I tried to match techniques to my mental images. The legs and the tops of the cattails are hand embroidered, but I used machine blanket stitch for the leaves and a straight metallic thread stitches for the wings. My DH insisted that I needed to add eyes, so they are hand embroidered with metallic machine thread. Now that I have the techniques figured out, DH wants something similar, but with a red dragonfly.
