What a lovely quilt this is. Cindy's grandmother made it in probably the 1970's. All of the quilt top is made by hand. Hand pieced, hand embroidered, hand appliqued butterflies. This will be a gift for Cindy's brother.
Each block has a butterfly in the center, then embroidery designs in each corner. Some of them are initials and birth dates of signficant family members.
Then there's this one. We've got a rooster, a chicken, a mouse and a Christmas candle? Hmm. Wonder what the connection is there.
Love the design of the butterflies that makes large "eyes".
Ran out of thread, or time in embroidering the date.
This design has the word "cancer" stamped on it.
An example of her hand piecing.
