Working in a quilt shop there is always lots of things to tempt me to try, having sold many self covering buttons I thought I'd buy some and have a go. This is what I did, I bought a fabric I could fussy cut and I made these 2 buttons, maybe I can use them on a bag. They were fun and easy to make so I think I'll do some more.
I have been working on this quilt for some time, its called Living the Dream by
Leanne Beasley. Today before work I quilted it and it looks so good. I changed a few of the stitcheries and wrote my childrens name just to personalise it a little bit, What so you think? Happy sewing everyone.

Covering your own buttons opens a world of possibilities. Your quilt is wonderful. I really like the way that you have added personal touches to the design. Ann :)
Cute buttons and your quilt looks awesome. (It's on my list to do one day!) I like the quilting design you used ... from the photo it looks quite 'paisleyish'
Congratulations on a fantastic finish... love that quilt... need to make my own soon.. I even bought fabrics and the book .. but the fabrics are probably used to something else by now..lol...
That's a lovely quilt! I love the little tag stitcheries and the quilting looks great!

Hi Leanne :) What a wonderful quilt! *_* I love it and the quilting!
In case you'll not receive my email, I let you know that I've posted the swap to you :)
I didn't know you work in a quilt shop. ok now I'm paranoid about what I've sent to you... with thought like "and if it isn't 'enough'?" argh :p
It's gorgeous! Love your choice of colors and the stitchery ~ a true heirloom!
