More fun with buttons. I wanted to create the impression of a herbaceous border which looked like hand embroidery. I used cotton thread. I think the design needs another couple of layers.<br /><br />
Dennis, if you look carefully, you will see where I had to change to a lighter weight thread.

This is such a good idea. The touch of buttons really do add to your design. I love your work Sue. As always your talent is unmatched.

Many thanks Sue. Incidentally, I heard that the Chinese stock market has gone up ever since you started buying those buttons...lol. I must say though, this is a great idea, adding a new dimension to the design.

I love the butterfly buttons, they go so nicely with the flowers. The design looks like handstitching - lovely!!

The butterflies are a new addition to my growing collection!
I'll have to have a look at that site again and support the Chinese economy too. Can't understand how they can make and send the things for such a low price.
My daughter was here last weekend and decide she needed to "shop" in my "gift drawer". First thing she picked out was the little notebook with the button design. And ordered a few more.

I agree. I wouldn't wash anything with wooden buttons on it. I remove them and stitch them back on after washing!
