Butterfly Stitches

    

Butterflies flutter

Butterflies fly,

They put a a sparkle

In your eye. 

Watch a butterfly 

And in a short while

It will give you

A butterfly smile!

I'm still quilting butterflies!  And they are still bringing  a warm smile to my day! 

Quilting on Flaming Butterflies. 

Welcome y'all and a lovely day to you.  I can see the light at the end of the tunnel with my Flaming Butterflies quilt. I was hoping to make great progress on it while camping, but it was just too dusty to bring it out to quilt on during the day, and it was too big to take into the truck camper at night. Sooo here I am still quilting butterflies.  A bright yellow butterfly is quilted. 

Time to move on to the next one. Soon I will be quilting the border. I may quilt a cable design in the border. 

One more Pretty in Peach butterfly body is appliqued.  It still needs antennaes though. 

A new butterfly quilt is in the works. 

So today these butterfly projects will be bringing a sparkle to my eye. What are you working on?  

Now onto the plans for the week.

This week's Sunday quilt stack is a "Teddy Bear's Picnic" Stack. No good teddy would have a picnic without a stack of quilts to sit on.

Double Stuff is one of my nephew's new kittens. It is supposed to be a barn cat, but it is not. LOL. 

I am joining these lovely ladies' link parties. I hope you check them out; they always have so many wonderful projects going on and provide the opportunity for other needle workers to meet.
