i got the best surprise in the mail today from france.

kathryn sent me a lovely stained-glass hand-quilted butterfly wallhanging with my logo embroidered on the back. i want everyone to know what a generous person she is and how much i appreciate her thoughtfulness.

and she really does do the most beautiful work. this was an experiment and it looks like she was born doing it.

right out loud THANK YOU k3n. and as you always say...xxx

p.s. when i have it hanging i will definitely post it for everyone to see.

Usually the male is more colorful ( they have to have something to attract a female) What a lovely spot for a lovely wall hanging. Perfect for someone named butterfly wing. She does awesome work.

MadQuilter 04-07-2009 03:12 PM

beachlady 04-07-2009 03:15 PM

Oh, butterflywing, she was thinking of moths!
you know, old joke...
where do mothballs come from?
You spread their tiny wings and use tweezers, lol! :lol:

Mousie 04-07-2009 09:31 PM

That's REALLY pretty!

Yes, K is great, huh? She sent me a little squisy too! Not a butterfly like you have, but something to add to my stash.
K...I did tell you I got it, right? And I said Thank You too? :)

k3n

now you've embarrassed me. i didn't send a lot at all. i certainly didn't earn that butterfly. but you're not getting it back. so there. especially now that i know it's a moth. but i love it anyway, and i'm going to give it a name.

like "k4n". LOL!
