But first, some state park photos. As we drove into the park we saw a man on a bicycle, stopped, looking at a turtle in the middle of the road. I pulled over. "It's a snapper," the man said. He retrieved a forked branch from the roadside and I took pictures as he encouraged/urged the turtle to get to safety.
Monarchs are active now and there is a lot of milkweed in the state park.
I got some raspberries before the birds did. (Generous person that I am, I gave these morsels to my husband who downed them in one gulp.)

Protective Coloration is a flimsy! I auditioned several fabrics for the border. Nothing clicked (wrong brown, too dark, too light). I looked on another shelf and found a something just right. 5-3/8 yards.
Lots to do this weekend, quilt wise and mostly otherwise.
Linking up with blogging friends at Finished or Not Friday
Great photo of the monarch, Nann! I really like your Protective Coloration quilt - it's always fun to see what can be done with flying geese!

ReplyDeleteI haven't seen as many butterflies here as I usually do so it is great to see yours. Good for you for getting Protective Coloration to a flimsy stage.
