If I Can't Catch A Butterfly, I Can Always Just Catch A Seagull

If I Can't Catch A Butterfly, I Can Always Just Catch A Seagull

This is a quote from my grandson Aiden as he tried out his new birthday gift.  5 year olds believe anything can be accomplished. A photo from that day was my inspiration. I painted the face and hands and the quilt is hand appliqued. I also hand macraméd the butterfly net so that it would flow free.   As the appliqued boy was being assembled it hung on my design wall next to another partial pieced project, I noticed how well the disappearing hour glass fit with the image and the theme.  At age 13 Aiden thinks the statement was silly.
