Maria RedElk has stitched the design “Her Way”.  The original has a butterfly sitting on top of the Fairy’s head.  I gave the directions for the butterfly since it is on the screened fabric.  You decide whether you want to stitch it in or make the hair like Maria did.

Maria used YLI Candlelight thread for several of the design elements.  I gave you an alternative EdMar thread to use but please make your own thread selections.
