The Quiltmaker's Butterfly Forest Blog Hop

Welcome to my stop on The Quiltmaker's Butterfly Forest by Felicia T. Brenoe blog hop. When asked if I wanted to participate, I really felt like there was no way I couldn't play along given the name of the book and the name of my blog...it was like karma and fate all rolled into one!

 I've enjoyed spending some time reading the delightful stories Felicia shares, and the patterns are so appealing to me in ways that may not be as obvious to others. I found myself fascinated by her use of fabric in the borders and the creative sashings that really set the blocks apart in a way that lets them shine!

And these placemats are so charming, I just may have to stitch up a few of these!

    Lovely quilts! I don't know if this counts, but I'm currently making a dresden butterfly quilt as a donation to the fundraiser at the school where I work!

    I never have but I do love butterflies. I was Just looking at some hand towels a friend had embroidered. To use or not to use. I was told they wash up nicely.

    Cute. I did put butterflies on a quilt. I purchased pre-fused ones cut using a die cutting machine, and just appliqued them. I would love to do one with more detail.

    I did a whole quilt of butterfly blocks when a new quilt shop opened in our town--each butterfly was from fabric that I made a quilt from--it was a memory quilt of sorts--
    love all the butterfly quilt stuff you are all showing--thanks-
    enjoy the moments, di

    I am a butterfly lover too and have included them on several quilted pieces. One was a mini quilt and 3 others were baby bibs. They add a lot of character with their color and motion!

    I've put butterflies on a block on one of my applique quilt. Butterflies are so beautiful and so delicate and come in every colour imaginable.

    I've put butterflies on quilts. They are a fun way to add a little whimsy and reward people for taking a close look at the quilt.
