The 3-yard quilt top is all sewn together and ready for the quilting frame! It was pretty easy to stitch it and even a bit boring to just keep adding the borders one after another!
The set of towels are off the loom and hemmed and even washed and in the dryer! I will trim threads and press it tomorrow for the final measurements and beauty shots!
Look at how pretty the blooms are
as they tower over everything in the front yard!
But here is the piece de resistance----
a monarch butterfly chrysalis!!!!
It is hanging in the pot of aloes
and the greens match so perfectly I almost missed it!!!!
I think I will be putting it in a large jar to be able to see it hatch
and not lose it to a passing turkey family like last year!

Nice finishes…and very cool chrysalis! It’s definitely worth chopping off an aloe leaf to protect and observe it! -Marsel
ReplyDeleteLovely finishes! I don't think I've ever seen a chrysalis out in the wild. That must be so cool to see.
ReplyDeleteSo awesome to find the chrysalis! They can be so hard to see sometimes!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to your baby butterfly.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful towels and the quilt is coming along so prettily. But a chrysalis! That's such a wondeful find. I hope you get photos of the emerging butterfly. :-)

Lovely top! And how fast you are on all your doings!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you use for your towels? Sorry if I've missed this information before.
