Can I be forgiven... hope so... please....
It´s SUMMER...:O)

And I am LAZY!! 
So I said it.. lol

Have spent lovely days at my parents place...
family get-together ...
my brothers with their families and my cousins from France ..
in a total of 23 people.. 
Yepp ... people everywhere ...and I mean it.. :o)
And I love it!!
View just outside the house ...
Swedish summer as its best....
Pretty!!

We introduced Molly to the cows...
Wonder who were most curios?

One day we cousins spent a day together...
walking, picnicking and bathing...
It was a wonderful day!!!
Molly really loved it when it was so many people... 
always someone to play with...
and this day ... to dig and to bath ..
that was FUN!!!

Family Days are the best!!!

Are now back at my home...
and have spent some hours in my sewing room...
and have my Butterfly Garden quilt top together in one piece...
hip hip hooray for me!!
This quilt is more green than the first BG quilt I made....
Really love the green tone....

Now I just have to layer it.. and quilt it...;o)
and off to it´s new owner...
Hmmm.... 
dont know If I love this one more than the first one made..lol...

Over and out with a cute pic....

Smile..:o)

    Hey there Stina! Summertime is just so wonderful and full of activity - many fun times for your family (always love to see the farm) and a fantastic quilt to boot. And summer sure beats the pants off wintertime... :-D

    The Butterfly Garden quilt is just AWESOME! I love it. I finished Leanne's Journey of a Quilter but still have to layer and quilt it, I just can't decide how to quilt it so it doesn't take away from the design.
