A good a reason as any, don't you think?
Well here they are free butterflies, just leave me a comment with the word butterfly in it, and I will put your name in the hat for a drawing 1 week from today, July 19th.
There are 30+ butterflies with body's, a few without their bodies, can you give them a home?
All the fabrics are from the same era, I would guess the 30's or 40's.
They have been hanging around in my sewing room for a few years, wouldn't you like them to hang with out with you for awhile?
They really need a new home, and somebody to love them.
So just leave your comment and maybe they can fly to your house.
I was up early this morning and staring me in the face next to the coffee pot were 2 very large over ripe bananas. Before the coffee was made, and before I got sidetracked, I Whipped up some banana bread. The recipe is wonderful just click on the link to a wonderful blog with the recipe.
Now that the butterfly's are taken care of, time for that coffee with a piece of that banana bread.
I am going to be thinning out my sewing again soon, I am going to have lots of goodies to pass on, so you better keep an eye out of those post.
Happy Quilting!
I would love to give any butterfly a new home and would love to be part of your draw for these beauties!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the butterflies! I'm keeping my fingers crossed:)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I found your site, those butterflies are to die for. My favorite is 30's quilts and those butterflies would make a lovely quilt (or two).
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteVintage butterflies!! I know they would make someone a beautiful quilt, a sweet welcome to spring!!
ReplyDeleteI would love the butterflies. I tried the recipe. It was wonderful. garrettsambo@aol.com
ReplyDeleteThese Butterflies are so cute. I will be trying the banana bread too.
ReplyDeletePlease add me to your drawing for the butterflies...I would love to have them fly my way...they would enjoy the warm sunny breezes in Iowa. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMary Jo
Ohhh... I love banana bread... and butterflies too. It would be quite lovely if those butterflies fly to my home. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt was extremely clever in creating butterflies with cloth remants. It would be interesting to incorporate them in a quilt.
ReplyDeleteOoo, I love 1930s fabrics and I love butterflies! Please include me in your drawing!
ReplyDeleteOh the magic of the Butterfly ! Thank you for this wonderful drawing !
ReplyDeleteMy deceased sister was the epitome of a social butterfly. We eventually started calling her "the butterfly" and she started gathering lots of butterfly collectables. Her daughter has inherited the nickname and these would make a great gift!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - what marvelous vintage butterflies! How can you possibly part with these. I would SO love to have them. I would start working on them right away - putting them into a quilt for hanging in the spring or summer. Oh I hope I win! I've never won a giveaway yet - and this is the one I've most wanted to win so far.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in college I put a patch on my jeans at the bottom of the zipper where the material was wearing thin. My father saw it and accused me of having butterflies on my crotch and ruining the morals of my younger sister! I have laughed about that for years!!
ReplyDeleteSend the butterflies and the banana bread, too.
ReplyDeleteWe made pumpkin bread this week, of all things! I know it's July, but we got a hankering for it and thot it might make us feel cooler. It was great.
My mother-in-law is a quilter and loves to reclaim vintage linens at yard sales and auctions, then finish them up and give them a new home, out of the bottom drawer where they have lived for years. I'll bet if I gave them to her, some of them would find their way back to my home in some form, whatdayathink - wink!
Thanks for the giveaway. Hope I'm lucky.
Butterflies make me happy
ReplyDeleteI surely would give those butterflies a good home! I adore butterflies (my initials form one!). I can think of so many ways to use them. I would probably figure out a way to use them in a quilt!
ReplyDeleteButterflies! I miss living in Weiser and watching the butterflies, birds and bees cruising the neighboring fields.
ReplyDeleteWould Love some butterflies for some Project Linus quilts!!

The butterflies are beautiful!! Have been giving butterfly gifts to my oldest daughter for about 12 years now. I had to explain how her upset stomache was just "butterflies" before doing something in public or before an audience. It stuck!!! She would love something made out of your giveaway!! Also my butterfly bush just started blooming also !! YIPPEE!!!! Kathie
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly is such a beautiful creature :)
ReplyDeleteMy butterfly bush is growing so fast this year.
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly bushes next door are blooming like crazy. I would love to give your butterflies a new home. :)
ReplyDeleteJanet, I do believe this is the nicest giveaway that I've ever seen! How sweet of you.
ReplyDeleteYour butterfly bush is so pretty. I don't have one of those, but my purple coneflower is attracting flocks of butterflies. Today I was standing outside admiring them when I suppose my sudden movement caused them all to take flight and flutter all around me. It was magical!
Thank you for offering such a sweet giveaway!
Smiles,
Lea
I would love the vintage butterflies. My sewing/laundry room has a 30's/40's theme. I just love those fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI made the recipe for Banana Bread, it is very good.
