On the left is a feather stitch with green, straight stitches and beads. The butterflies are silk ribbon with pistol stitches for the antenna and 12 bullion wraps for the body.
To the right is a vine with the fly stitch and beads. Silk ribbon bees hum over the vine.
Here is another simple version of the feather stitch with silk ribbon flowers and beads.
Note: Some CQ books will have either Blanket Stitch or also Buttonhole stitch. Judith Baker Montano calls it a Buttonhole stitch and Joan Waldman has it as blanket (buttonhole) stitch

Thank you ladies for the comments. I love working with silk ribbon.
it's gorgeous ! full of colors and variety.
I really like the seam treatments, but the fly stitch and beads fascinates me. Wish I could see it closer.
Your work is lovely and whimsical.
