BUTTERFLY SEASON

Look what I won  From Terri at Quiltncards....

Isn't she lovely--all paperpieced you should SEE all the seams on the back--HOLY COW, gal!!
I've only done a small bit of paper piecing myself and can't imagine the patience needed to do this baby butterfly...

And--my lucky day--
 it will go with my 2nd Chinese Coins Toss strips...
See...
thank you so much Terri--I just love it!!;)))) Check out her other pretties....
*********************************************
And speaking of Butterflies--in 2015 I made these "Butterflies Are Free" using
machine applique for the first time: testing Helga....

there are a whole lot more, too---some already appliqued some to be done...
and I am embroidering with black DMC No.12 cotton thread...on each one...

Like this
And this

The background fabric is an impressionistic rendering of Venice--to remind us of our Italy trip a few years ago...

All the butterflies are batiks from my collection..
These have been my deck work (or AC like today if it is too hot).  
**************************************************************************

 Do you like cruciferous veggies?  I love them...cabbage is my very favorite--;))))

 as a matter of fact for lunch today I am frying some shredded cabbage in a bit of
Virgin Olive oil with salt and pepper...for my lunch...YUM YUM (Mr. Hubster is not
fond of veggies, so I just make some pour moi!! )

And so I will leave you guys for now --I hope to machine applique more Flutterbyes (lol)
this afternoon...and manger le cabbage...

 hugs, Julierose La blageuse (embroidering-euse)

    I eat a lot of cabbage, but usually just shredded and made into a salad. Wow what a great win, and your butterflies are gorgeous.

    The paper pieced butterfly is very pretty as are yours. The embroidery you are doing is perfect for those blocks.

    Wow, I really like both the appliqued and the paper pieced butterflies. They are all so pretty. I like a red cabbage slaw that I make, but I really don't like many other cruciferous vegetables.
