While working on my ALQS quilt, which is almost done (photos this weekend before I mail it off), I couldn’t resist doing 2 more butterfly blocks. Three more of these and then a small quilt will be made.
The last Snow Crystal block is being taken apart. I have heard from quite a few people about that white on white and, as that is supposed to be a pink and white quilt rather than pink and yellow, it seems the best thing is to get rid of that fabric altogether. So un-sewing it is! I flirted with the idea of soaking a piece of the white fabric in turpentine to see if I could get rid of the painted-on design but it was pointed out that the turpentine may well affect the fabric in other less desirable ways.
I love the colour of the leaves on this bush on the roof garden! Sometimes it looks as though the bush is on fire — depends on how the sun is hitting it.
Smudge took up residence on the windowsill for a few hours. They’re both getting a lot of exercise chasing leaves as they drift by the windows. The other day Lester was actually growling at one that had the nerve to land and stay on the window. He did not like that at all!

Unsewing — not so much fun! But worth it in the end.That bush that looks like it’s on fire, is it a burning bush plant? We have some and they are spectacular! Autumn is just gorgeous.

Lovely embroidery in those blocks and Cathi, doesn’t Smudge look so…Alert to things? Such interest in his eyes.

Grrrr.(Funny I hear a lot more MRRR, than actual growls – it is like she is saying, “Mom, he’s looking at me.”)

I think I have some of that white on white fabric. I used it in a 30’s quilt I made. So far it is holding the colour but then it is only a year old or so. I hope it doesn’t turn yellow on me. It is such a nice time of the year as the leaves change colours – we are getting some brilliant reds here right now with the Japanese Maples changing colours.

Sorry to hear that you have to frog your latest Snow Crystal. But I am sure that you will be much happier using another white. I used some of that ‘painted’ white on white in a quilt and I regretted it. Cute little butterfly blocks. And a cute Smudge, but that goes without saying.

Love the little butterfly blocks!! The white on white turning yellow is news to me, i use it all the time. I guess i will have to start buying plain white fabric. Thanks for sharing!

I had some of the white on white fabric, and I donated it a couple weeks ago. I love your little butterfly stitcheries.
