There was a lot of "empty" space to the right of the pink ribbon. I guess I wasn't paying attention to that when I pieced it! Anyway, buttons are a wonderful way to fill in voids like that. These buttons are vintage plastic from circa 1940's.
All I left to do now is to assemble it. When I go into town later this week, I'll pick up some handles for it and can hopefully put it together over the weekend. I still have my little Patriotic cellphone pouch to assemble too. Guess I'm a bit late on that one!
For today, I'm going to sew up a comfort doll for Pat's Comfort Doll project. Mine will be a kitty. I mentioned Pat's project to my mom yesterday and she is planning to make one too!
I'm not sure I'll be able to start stitching on mine right away as I still have some commitments that I have to contend with but at least it will be ready to go.
It's beautiful Pam.
ReplyDeleteIs this one spoken for?

Robin, yes it is spoken for already. But if you can give me a little bit of time, I'll gladly make another one. Please email me so I know if I should go ahead with it or not. I'll have to ask Kim if she would stitch the pink ribbon again for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Pam
Simply stunning

Pam, this one is truly exceptional.
ReplyDeleteWell done, and so inspiring!
Vintage plastic buttons? Sounds heretical to me. =) Beautiful block, though. I look forward to seeing your comfort kitty!
