Weekend Project

I thought it would be fun to let you follow along while I work on a small project this weekend.  It is call, “Butterfly Garden” designed by Kay Murphey.

It’s a 25 inch square wall hanging with nine patch blocks with appliquéd butterflies and flowers.

I will be using a few of my 1930 reduction prints and a small white on white. 

I am going to try and update you every hour on the progress.  Let me know what you think.
