Butterflies!!

Last week we had some friends over for dinner who were leaving the Kingdom to go back to the US for good. "Hello" and "Goodbye" are so much a part of life here and it is always sad to have to say goodbye to people you are just getting to know.....

I was glad we were able to have one last dinner together though. As I was thinking about what to cook, I thought of a yummy lasagne type casserole that I used to make a lot. Since I had just finished a row of butterflies for the new Round Robin over at Patchwork Posse, I decided that it was meant to be....

So I got out the butterfly pasta (that's what we call it anyway!), made up white sauce and mince.. then started layering:

More butterflies:


More white sauce and cheese:


Ready to go in the oven... forgot to take a photo of it done, and it didn't last long enough to take a photo once I remembered.... :) Yum! Must make it more often!

And what about the Butterfly Row for the Round Robin? Here it is, blue butterflies all in a row:


Ready for the next row.... Just in case you are wondering, I am using my stash for this quilt and also decided to try to do each row with one main color... let's see how it works out, and let's see if I can keep up this time!!!
