Slowly but surely
I am sewing butterfly quilts
for the grand girls
an old, old pattern
I have always loved
I have never had the opportunity
to make this pattern
My children were all boys
But now I have grand girls
and I am excited to spend a couple of years
making butterflies!
It will take me that long
because I am taking my time
No rush
they are just wee babes for now.
This fall my friend Lynda gave me
a simply enormous rock.
I didn't want to leave it out
so
I sewed two squares together
tucked a tiny pebble in one corner
and....
....and let the giant of a rock
fill the rest of any available space.
Thank you, Linda.
That's a cracker of a rock, well worth a couple of squares and a lot of time!
ReplyDeleteThe rock is most impressive. I do love the glimpses of the butterflies. Lucky grand girls.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! That's some rock. And...I'll have to remember that butterfly quilt if I ever have grandchildren. (Assuming girls...) ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat's a rock with unique surface features.
ReplyDeleteYour stitching does it justice.
And of course the butterfly blocks are a beautiful
choice.
Love your work...you are so talented.
ReplyDeleteThat big rock! Love your stitchy version!
ReplyDeletePink. I got nothing but pink!
Another great set of rocks. The butterflies who came to visit the rocks are also lovely.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the butterfly quilts but there's no hurry! Glad you were able to work the big rock and the teeny little one into the same block....like that.
