Taking Butterflies to Japan

by Regina Doyle

I went to Japan & had a wonderful time there. The quilt you are about to see was given to the bride & groom as a wedding present.
The bride was our homestay student from Japan for 10 months a few years back & invited us to her wedding, She & her family classed us as family & so we got to go to the temple wedding which is only reserved for close family… we were soooo honoured.

Regina used the Butterfly Quilt Redwork and Jacobean Butterflies to complete this set.

    This is truly a gift of love. I am sure she was as honored to get this gift as you were to be considered part of her family. Friendships and gifts such as yours last a lifetime.
    GOOD JOB!
