LAST BUTTERFLY

                      Terri  had sent me this paper pieced butterfly as a gift....
                  Here is the (finally ) finished table topper that I made with it
                                                 in the medallion style
                                            thanks so much Terri , ;))) it really inspired me...
I hand quilted it with perle cottons...

And I did a new-to-me free-form, raw edge ruffled binding......I thought it just went with
the idea of a fluttering butterfly....;)))

                             (see "Zazu's"  Youtube  channel for instructions)

Here is the reverse  : an Asian  Ladies side: with the last pieces of geisha fabric....

*************************************
                                  This is the start of my "Finish-a-Thon...."
                 I have decided that I canNOT make anything new until all those
                                                  UFO's are D O N E ..

Wish me luck  --
                                       next up will be  Snowballs...

NIGHT MOVES

                 Hand Quilting Terri's Butterfly in the evenings--
I decided on "big stitching" those border segments....
love how "handmade"it appears....;)))



          Here is the Prescenzia (sp?) thread color--a real Spring Green...
                                                   AND
You can see I am watching the Red Sox on tv..................


 I have this draped over a pillow on my lap so that I can maneuver it easily...

Hugs, Julierose La Blageuse (hand working-euse)and 
P.S.

I will be hooking up with Kathy's Slow Sunday stitchers
