harvest, giveaway butterflies

Wednesday morning (6/13), Michael took Cookie for a walk while I got my blog out.  Then it was time to SKYPE with Janice while Michael was out running errands and grocery shopping.  I spent a little bit of time continuing to sew my blocks together after that, but in the afternoon (while Michael was out doing another harvest):

I decided I had better get some homework done for the class tomorrow at Scrap Happy Quilters.  Three LO_O_O_ONG hours later I gave up!  I went through plans “A” and “B” and “C” to make my green strips for the 3-D Christmas pillow, and not one of them worked  :~(.  I’m going to watch the class tomorrow, and maybe attempt it at some point in the future when I figure out a better way….but not now.  

After that I dropped back to sewing together my blocks from my Scrap Happy project:  

By the time I went upstairs after 7 PM, I had all of the blocks into columns.  I have to find and sew together different colors for the vertical sashing before I can put the columns together…but it is moving along.  I spent the evening watching TV and ripping out stitches to re-claim blue fabric and small strips of batting from the pile I showed you a few days ago!

 So, several of the food blogs I read have a give away from time to time…and I’ve decided to do the same.  As you know, I made many butterflies for the wall hanging recently completed and Michael and I did not use all of them.  I’ve decided to give the remaining butterflies away…here’s what’s left:  

a close up of one...isn't it beautiful?

If you think you would like to own these, just leave me a comment.  (For those of you who want to own them and don’t yet know how to leave a comment (hint:you need to go to the real blog, not the email of the blog you might be getting), I guess you’ll figure it out!)  You’ll know if your comment worked because I will reply to you (as long as I know who you are, so if you’re not sure, please include your email address within the comment itself!!)  So, let me know what you think you might do with them in the comment.  By some miracle if I get more than one comment, the winner will be picked by a random generator (otherwise known as putting all of your names in a hat and letting Michael pull one out  :~).  I'll pick a winner over the weekend.....so....get going!!!
