I hope everyone is having a great day. Today I finished sewing on the binding and hanging loop for "My Button Quilt". I bought this pattern back in January while on Holiday from this great shop
There are 144 buttons sewn onto this quilt. So for the last couple of days that is what I have been doing.
The mini quilt has a button on each square.
There are three jars of buttons
Of course there is a pin cushion and a teacup full of steaming hot tea. I got to try out my Yo-Yo maker which I bought from my local craft store last year. They certainly make great flowers. I am really pleased with how this quilt has turned out. It is slightly heavier than your normal quilt,with the added weight of the buttons.
When I finished the quilt I made up the "Bless this House" pattern that I got from DzintraThis was a quick and easy pattern to make up using bits and pieces. It looks lovely in the frame.
I can see this design being used maybe for an address book cover or enlarged and used on a cushion.
Happy sewing.
