Butterflies for Berenice

Rainbow Butterflies
It seems that I can't  stay  away from the sewing machine for long.

So ... as soon as my daughter asked what she should take as a gift to a baptism I switched on the A/C and began sewing.

I  knew that I had no time to send it out for quilting so I decided that I would quilt it myself with a very simple diamond pattern.  

Half way through my "good" machine broke and I had to bring out the 'back up machine'.(Thank God I had it and thank you Maro for convincing me to get it!!!!!)
The patchwork part  of the quilt  was a breeze but  as soon as I started the quilting I began to worry a bit. The neck of the machine was so small and the quilt barely fit through.  On two occasions I caught a fold and some unpicking was necessary.

However all is well that ends well and now Berenice will have this happy quilt  full of sunshine and rainbow butterflies.   - Nonie
