Butterfly Girl

If you have been reading my blog for a while you will notice a bit of trend with one of my daughter's - she's our Butterfly Girl. Her jeans here had to have a butterfly on them, as did the doona cover and pillows she received for Christmas presents. As soon as I stocked this pattern in the shop she has nagged me to make it for her. I thought I could buy myself some time by saying "why don't you ask Auntie Susan to make it when she comes down in December?"

So she did - and Auntie Susan being the lovely auntie she is said YES. Got to love my sister. The thing Susan didn't know is that Rachel had her heart set on this Estrella fabric. I really wondered how she would get the butterflies and flowers to stand out (so did Susan) - but not to be deterred she took on the challenge. Not much more than a month later (after Susan receiving many emails from Miss 7 asking how her quilt was going and much grumbling by Uncle P about *&^% butterflies), last week we received a package in the mail.

End result - one very happy BUTTERFLY GIRL as you can see.

Butterfly Girl is equally happy with the reverse of the quilt - and you can see why. She's especially impressed that her name is on the quilt "in dots Mum", dots being one of her favourites after butterflies and stripes.
and the little butterfly label.

I know you don't read this Susan, but thank you so much.

So for all of you quilters who read my blog - don't forget the back of your quilt and especially don't forget to sign (label) your quilts.
