This is an embroidery called 'Hardanger' pronounced hardunger. It originated in the Scandinavia countries.
This one started as a plain piece of blue material, no pattern or anything, Just right out of my Honey's head as she went along, Take a good look at the wings on the butterflies. Those little squares are cut out and then stitched up to keep their shape. This piece is about two feet by one. It doesn't take hours to do, it takes months. This a wedding present for a special nephew,
