I couldn't resist doing another of Karen's classes, so I signed up for Buttons and More 2011. This time, I treated myself to some silk. Due to illness here last week, finishing my cloth, and waiting for supplies, my start was delayed. This weekend was all about catching up.
And this is the first completed button, with padded embellishment and buttons. These buttons have been sat in my button box for years. It's the same button box that belonged to my mum, and her grandmother, with various additions over the years.
The top three will be ready for making up, but, as I'm out today and tomorrow, they may have to wait a couple of days.
These are all now being damp stretched. This one has needleweaving, blanket stitch lace, web stitch and lots of french knots
Noughts and crosses
this one includes my first ever bullion stitches, web stitches, and french knots

I love your button, so soft and romantic looking.
How interesting. I love the look and using old buttons on a button is a neat idea. Good job again.
