Out of the Hoop!
This wonky cross quilt is complete! Hand quilted and finally out of the hoop! The bracelet I made from thrift, vintage buttons with shanks that are threaded on 1/8 inch elastic and tied. I scored the dress patterns from the share table at our quilt guild meeting. I love the new and the old and the new from the old! Having fun! Jessica Pearl

Vintage patterns are my favorite; that's how I learned to sew. Your wonky cross quilt looks pretty and you should be proud of all of your crafty accomplishments and fun you are having this summer!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant bracelet, I love vintage buttons! And your 'hand' is great too! I'm hoping you're going to show us more of the quilt, it's looking gorgeous. I'd love to see a big shot of it. I bought a vintage pattern the other day in a charity shop for next to nothing, it's sitting on my kitchen counter and I keep looking at it and thinking why did I buy you? I never use patterns! There was just something about it's vintagey-ness and unloved-ness that I couldn't resist! This is why my house is full of clutter! Does you house suffer the same way or do you manage to keep it under control?
ReplyDeleteI think I am going to make a button bracelet. Now, if I only had a funky hand to display it on
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy! The quilt looks great and what a super way to have the old buttons out on view!
