In the past I struggled doing needleturn applique on the feet of the birds, so this time I took the easy way out and used buttonhole stitch around each toe. For the circles on the body of the bird I did the same as the fabric was fraying too much...
I received my order of buttons and can't wait to use them on a project.
They are clay buttons made in South Africa by ladies from the local community who have been trained in the art of button making.
Love the civil war block! And what a huge selection of buttons. Can't wait to see what you do with them!

Your CW Brides block is stunning, and I can't believe all those beautiful buttons, what a wonderful collection to have.
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful your civil war bride quilt will be. I just bought that pattern at the show in Melbourne in April. But I'm afraid to even start it! And those buttons! How cool are those!
ReplyDeleteSuch amazing buttons! Your CW blocks are really coming along well - good idea to buttonhole stitch the tricky bits....those feet must be a nightmare!! Lynne Mills
