"Oeuvre" (the works of a painter, composer, or author regarded collectively: "the complete oeuvre of Mozart" a work of art, music, or literature.: "an early oeuvre" ORIGIN late 19th cent.: French, literally 'work.' - Oxford Dictionary.)
Now that I'm back to blogging, I realized I hadn't posted my finish of the Rhododendron trail quilt. The last time I posted was February of 2022 and on that post I shared that I'd been remiss in posting my sewing progress also. These last few years I've really gotten out of some of my much loved routines. Anyway, I did finish the quilt. This quilt took a left turn of interest for me when the butterflies began to come together (in my mind) as a barbwire fence and I was told my Cancer had recurred, but after it was complete (and I was Tumor free) I found that I saw butterflies once again. I gifted it to one of my granddaughters. She loves butterflies.

This quilt has been on a long journey with me.

There's a lot of life stories between these fabrics and threads.
I hope the butterflies are always seen when this quilt is gazed upon.
