This is a Painted Lady Butterfly. She's a sweet little gal found almost worldwide and while she has lovely markings on her wings with nice atumnal colors, she isn't a standout, knock-your-socks off butterfly.

Don't get me wrong- I think butterflies are beautiful no matter what but let's admit it, Painted Lady is kind of plain in her markings. Not a wall-flower but not Prom Queen either. Unless, of course, Susan Brubaker Knapp gets ahold of her, that is.

Susan is a fiber artist, quilt pattern designer, and teacher who is one of those incredibly lucky folks making a living at what was once "just" an obsessive passion. This quilt, Lepidoptera, is a wholecloth, painted quilt.
