Olivia's Butterfly for Eva

You have been seeing a lot of butterflies made by me lately.

This one is for my mother in law, Eva, in memory of Olivia, 

her granddaughter, that died this past April.

She, of course, is devastated by Olivia's death.

(Blogged HERE)

When Eva saw the butterfly for my friend for our guild swap, she mentioned how much she loved it and that it reminded her of Olivia.

I just had to make her one too.

The one I made for Olivia's mother is blogged HERE.

Information about the pattern can be found HERE.

Here are some behind the scenes photos ;)

My mother in laws favorite color is purple :)

Olivia's Butterfly

As many of you may remember, my niece, Olivia died this past April.

You can see the post HERE.

At her funeral we all released butterflies.

Olivia loved bright colors!

A few weeks ago was Olivia's mother, Cathy's birthday.

I decided to make Cathy a butterfly, just like the one I made HERE for the 

Nebo Modern Quilt Guild Mini Swap.

I really hope she likes it!

I spent a lot of time finding the right thought for the label.

The fabric is Mimosa.

For the quilting I went for whimsical with motion.

I even added Olivia's name into the quilting.

Nebo Modern Quilt Guild Mini Swap!

Our guild had a mini swap :)

My partner was Katie Gardner, one of my long time quilty BFFs!

Her favorite color is sapphire blue.

and she loves butterflies!

I saw this pattern all over Instagram and I knew she would love it!

That pattern is called Take Wing by Lilly Ella.  It can be found HERE.

It was a little time consuming to make, but not hard.

For the quilting, I wanted to create some movement.

I am madly in love with it!

I sure hope she likes it!

The binding is from Emily Herricks Technicolor fabric collection.
