On Wings of Fabric

It isn't on my WIP list, but it's done, and now it won't ever be on my WIP list, and that makes me a very happy butterfly!

We discovered our hot water heater was leaking when we got home from work. Lizard called the plumber, and I emailed my bosses to find out if I could be late the next day.

And this is what I finished while I waited!


Just a couple of days earlier, we had a butterfly relative as a guest for a few hours. A Columbia Silk Moth landed on our front door, fascinating all the neighborhood children.


I'd found one on the finish line at Ride the Rockies last year, too, and that one seemingly befriended me after I lifted it from the finish line to a safer resting spot. Turns out these babies don't fly much during the day because birds eat them. The females begin calling to the males at about 3 in the morning until sunrise. So next morning, my visitor was gone.


I decided the silk moth is my spirit animal. That made choosing a quilting project to work on while waiting for the plumber a simple task.
