In between bouts of unpacking I have made a few more hexagons and hope to cut out a few more later today. It is so nice to have a little hand sewing to relax with. The sewing rooms are all unpacked but still require the final organizational touches and I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
On a side note, for those of you that have been following along, our house sold one week after we listed it. We had hail damage the night before the inspection that the inspector discovered. Fortunately the insurance company is replacing the roof, so the buyers are ending up with a brand new roof! Good deal for them as we would have asked more for the house had the roof been replaced earlier, but we are just grateful for a quick sale. Now we pray that the rest goes smoothly. My longarm table/frame is still there and we need to move it ASAP which is why I am so frantic to get the room ready. I am so excited to finally feel like I am moving forward and can get back to quilting soon!

Such a beautiful quilt, it looks perfect hanging there :D
Gorgeous! I've always thought of butterflies as a little girl thing but these have changed my mind and made me see them in a grown up light.
Oh so gorgeous!!! And I love the Union Jack pillow. So happy you are getting settled in. :)
Your butterflies look great there! Glad you were able to sell your house so quickly--that must have been a relief. Hope you can get settled and sew soon! :)
Lovely Spring-ey butterflies Quilt; it looks perfect on that wall--along with that Union Jack Pillow!! Julierose
I love your butterfly quilt - great that you got it finished before the move! It has been an exhausting time for you - but hopefully also exciting with arranging furniture and rooms and going through all your sewing things!
I think that when you get your shelves, you whould probably send the quilt to me for safe keeping! Congrats on selling the house so quidkly. That must be a huge relief. And now the quilting machine is moving south - Yippee!!
Love the quilt, it looks great. Actually the whole house is coming together beautifully.

Your quilt is gorgeous, I just love it to bits. The house is becoming yours slowly but surely.
thank goodness for the roof, and congrats for selling so quickly. We're listing next week.
Your Butterfly quilt looks lovely. What a beautiful traditional quilt.
Such great news that your house sold in a week!!! Lucky the damage wasn't worse, hail can be nasty! Your butterfly quilt is really beautiful. It looks so perfect hanging in that lovely room. I love your birdcage too, very cool!!

What an awesome looking quilt. I know exactly how you felt with the hail damage repair we had a hail storm right before we sold our house as well. Thankfully the insurance covered it and the new owners got a new roof, just like yours did. It must have been their lucky day. Thanks so much for sharing.
