Andree', yes, the sidewalks are everywhere in Brazil, and other designs as well. Most of the city sidewalks are of that wave pattern. It's delightful!

Jane (golfjane) I did receive yours and I just have not got the photo up yet I think. I have one from you, one from Nancy, and just got another from Debbie as well, but behind on taking & posting the photos. Sorry about that! They are all stunning!! My little butterflies seem so plain in comparison, but I am glad you all like them I thought it would be fun to show you the styles of fabric from Brazil -- the things used to frame the butterflies are all very common, typical fabrics that we would have. Although one I think got a fabric that is the clay roof tiles, which is actually a US fabric, of a Brazil theme I forget who got that one....

Norma, I did not know there were so many butterflies in that one! Lovely! And I'm glad it reached you already; they warned me it could take "two to three weeks" to arrive; glad it didn't take so long!

OK, I'm awake now! Glorious springtime here until the rain starts. I hope all are safe from the tornadoes and pray that Robin makes it home on time, flying around those storms.

Here's a picture of my gift from Nancy. Isn't it wonderful?!

[golfjane]

No hurry, Heather. Was just concerned that with your move and all, that it may have gone astray. I think I'm the one with the red tiles which match my winter home in Wickenburg with the red tile roof :lol: :lol: :lol:

Susan, that is a wonderful Spring muggie! Great job Nancy.

Finally, here is my beautiful Brazilian butterfly to join the others:

I also put a picture in the show and tell.

camera settings.....bear with me?

[idaho]

[idaho]

Thanks ...Windows 8 and all the new things cause me lots of headache....but I seem to be makin' some headway !

[twiglet]

They're nice Marilyn

[suehenyon]

Great butterflies!

Marilyn, if you can't stand Windows 8, someone told me there is a download that allows you to run in Classic view which makes it like Windows 7.

Sue.. it's actually 8.1 and has a format that is more familiar. for someone like me with very limited
experience...it can get confusing fast. "Intuitive" is a pretty relative notion, I think ! Instructions would
be nice ! :shock: :roll: :roll:

Heather--I was so excited to get my mug rug in the mail today. It is a beautiful butterfly and I really like your use of decorative stitching in the quilting. It will be going on the wall in my sewing room and will be an inspiration to me.

More beautiful mug rugs from Heather! Lucky ladies! Nancy & Marilyn--just wonderful!

[Reetzbobeetz]

Lovely mug rugs Heather, you are really on a roll now. Lucky ladies who received them too. Nancy, that chick is adorable. Did you draw and hand colour it yourself too? So cute. And Marilyn your kitchen towels are far too nice to ever use. If you need a place to display them I have space on my range cooker. :wink: :lol: I just thought I would mention that summer is definitely on the way here in Ireland because the Swallows arrived last week. I think that's about two weeks early. We are having beautiful April weather. This morning it is beautifully sunny and mild. I hope you are all over the worst of that dreadful Winter.
