Thanks again.

This is fine as long as it will not show through any of your finish fabrics. Nothing will dash your spirit like doing a bunch of work and looking down at your finished project to see ugly flannel peeking through a patch here and there.

Hi.
My ugly flannel is navy blue with dark green stripes (plaid), and the
sashiko is done on solid black, so I don't think the flannel will show
through, if it does I can always put an extra butterfly there. I kinda
bummed up my knee running on the treadmill so It'll be awhile before
I can post a picture, but I will when its all done. I enjoy seeing all the
pictures you gals put on the board. Hopefully my knee will be better
in a couple of days, it is so unbelievably boring sitting on the couch
and watching daytime TV (although the cartoons are cute!) I've been
doing needlepoint quilt squares while sitting on the couch, but I want
to get in my sewing room and cut out those butterflies. The only
advantage to this whole thing is hubby does all the cooking for me
plus going to work full time. He's a doll. He always takes good care of
me.
