in time !!! happy birthday J !

Just an hour ago, after lunch,
I made the last stitch
on "Mandala"

Later this afternoon we will visit the birthdaygirl
who reaches the wonderful age of
70
( our mandala teacher/friend ) 
She will nót be behind her computer at this moment
so I can reveal now the quiltlet I made for her  


(I'm a bit surprised myself that I did finish it in such a short time)

a piece of a flower became a butterfly
......

J had two cats (brothers)

but sadly enough one of them died some months ago 
......

and the Polygonatum (Solomon's seal)
 moved from one garden to another
and the next
...

I hope we have many more years of friendship and drawing together !
