And with the Hand Quilting...

Pink and yellow appliqued 1930's butterflies with hand quilting

Baby quilting from earlier post completed.
Hand quilting included one echo line, using matching thread, inside and outside each butterfly and 2" cross hatching in each plain square.
Binded with matching yellow fabric.

Vintage buttons

My trusty 1980 sewing machine and buttons to sort.

This is about one-third of the buttons I needed to sort.

While in NY I visited a well organized and lovely estate sale. I am always looking for vintage sewing supplies, fabric, buttons, lace, thread -- really anything to do with sewing or quilting.  So I was thrilled to find a bag of buttons.

Most of the buttons I use for projects or sell at my booth at Antiques USA in Arundel, Maine.
