Remember the caterpillar post from a couple of weeks ago? I’ve been watching the chrysalis, checking on it everyday. I went to work this morning, came home at lunch and found this:
Beautiful!!
And the Butterfly Emerges!

I’m a simple woman…at least that what my DH (Dear Husband) used to say about me…I was a wife, I am now a widow, mother, step-mother & step-grandmother, quilter, and have a full time job in criminal justice. I lost my DH on May 22nd, 2011. I live in a small town in Texas. I love piecing quilts, I love quilting quilts. I have a serious addiction to fabric. I’ve been quilting since 1998, and purchased my first longarm, a Gammill Premier, in 2004. I upgraded to an A-1 Elite, named Corky, in March, 2007. I am in the process of rebuilding my life after losing my spouse.

What a beauty! I have had monarch butterfly chrysalis’s but no matter how much time I spend watching them, I always miss seeing them emerge as a butterfly. How do they know? Thanks for sharing.
