Interesting Insects

Remember when I did my teacher wreath with all of my educator pins? I mentioned then that I also have many other "collections" of interesting pins I have worn over the years. When I saw my insect grouping, it made me think that I should do something with them for summer decoration purposes. Long ago, I bought this little frame at a garage sale. I don't have a "before" picture, but it was gold and in poor shape. I hit it with a little oil rubbed bronze spray paint and thought it would be about the right size to display three of the pins. I picked one of the butterflies, a dragonfly and grasshopper. I had a few quilted scraps left from last week's ironing board project. Guess what? One of them perfectly fit in the frame, so I assembled the project.
