The Butterfly Sanctuary wool appliqué Block of the Month is a wonderful way to explore their line of Merino Wool fabric while building your skills in appliqué and hand embroidery. Every month for 12 months, beginning in September 2026, a new block pattern will drift into your hands, designed to capture the delicate beauty of butterflies in flight. Watch your sanctuary grow one beautiful stitch at a time into a stunning 25" x 33" wall hanging.

The best part? You don't even have to cut out your wool appliqué shapes! Every pattern comes with all wool pieces pre-cut and ready to stitch - so you dive right in without the prep work! Wonderfil has also included thoughtfully curated thread packs that provide everything you need to create rich textures and beautifully embellished details.

Experience Ellana, Wonderfil's 12wt wool/acrylic thread, in both appliqué and decorative elements. From vibrant pink to warm, spring yellows, this collection is beautifully curated to complement every piece of Wonderfil Merino Wool. The soft, rich texture of Ellana wool thread adds dimension and warmth, bringing every butterfly, petal, and delicate embroidery to life.

Watch your stitches bloom with Alison Glass Eleganza, Wonderfil's 8wt Egyptian cotton thread, with a wonderfully smooth, lustrous sheen. The thread’s tight twist creates firm, precise stitches that glide effortlessly through fabric, adding beautifully defined details to embellishment stitchery. Each Alison Glass Eleganza set comes in its own adorable limited-edition tin, one for solids and another for variegated colours to keep your threads beautifully organized and ready to stitch.

Step into a year of mindful making and joyful learning, as the threads weave their quiet magic.
