Of Stones and Butterflies

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.
