Ohhhhhh....so sweet! Bountiful bevvy of beautiful butterfly brooches, the embroidery on the quilt and the flower brooches. Please, do tell, how they are made. I love their look much more than other flower brooches.

Oh such pretty things! The butterfly's look so lovely all grouped together like that, and the quilt is adorable. Those flower pins are delightful - I really like the fabrics that you have chosen.

So adorable! You choose the most yummy colors for your projects. I'm a sucker for red checks. Pretty please, let us in on how the fabric brooches are made.

Beautiful work! I'd be tempted to have a picnic on the quilt...and wear all the brooches at once. Really sweet.
