They are relatively common and called Wanderers in Australia - presumably because they 'wandered' here from North America!Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05076197012454643657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-26877170919092146922012-11-05T09:52:19.852-05:002012-11-05T09:52:19.852-05:00Thank you very much!Thank you very much!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224346283881001640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-42057733088293468192012-11-04T18:56:17.635-05:002012-11-04T18:56:17.635-05:00That's a beautiful butterfly Monica.

The quilt will look fabulous.

I try and avoid stitching on things that are dark or patterned too much to allow me to trace the design. Are you using non iron vilene (interfacing) or something else.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18203034266623357526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-90140896827334695732012-11-04T02:05:15.875-05:002012-11-04T02:05:15.875-05:00this is going to be a very pretty butterfly.this is going to be a very pretty butterfly.margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225676137708827434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-7971127291932329692012-11-04T01:24:50.535-05:002012-11-04T01:24:50.535-05:00I love monarchs.

I'd love watching after they'd come out as they puff up their wings to full size.
