During this, natural occurances have taken on new meaning, as we look for comfort & assurance. Butterflies, with their annual transformation, have special meaning. This project has been in me for a while, but it needed to gestate, before I could do it.
2 weeks ago, the time was right. So I made this small whole cloth quilt for Mom. It was the right time for me, very therapeutic. The FMQ just flowed.
I used 1 layer of cotton batting topped with a layer of high-loft polyester. Glide thread on top, with Bottom-line on the back and as filler to recede.
I love the puff, and the Bottom-line thread is my new favorite thread. Not breaks, no issues of any kind.
Mom loves it.

My mother told me when she was sick that she would be coming back to check on me as a dragonfly, so each time I see one that's what i think about and it brings me comfort. You are both wonderful and special people and perhaps this will serve as a reminder of the changes that you all have gone through and how someone else very special is always looking over you-- it's beautiful and your father would be so proud.
It's a beautiful tribute and I know your mother must love it.
Wonderful that you can use your quilting as therapy. My mom passed away almost a year ago too and I know it's been super hard on my dad. He's so lonely and bored I think since he took care of her the last 3 years.
Beautiful piece of art you made.
This is absolutely perfect, of course your Mom loves it! What a loving tribute to your precious Dad; well done, Kelly!
Beautiful :)
Wow, this is spectacular! I love how the butterfly breaks free of it's border. I feel the emotion in the piece. Brilliant.
It is beautiful. Wonderful job.
Beautiful! It is never easy losing a parent no matter how sudden or sick they have been not having them with us is Painful! What a beautiful expression of another step in accepting/dealing with your loss, and in a way celebrating your wonderful Dad and family love (xoxo- hugs to you & your mom)
What a lovely gift for your Mom!
Beautiful!
