Buttonwork

I had torn out an article about an artist named Mary Teeter from a Country Living magazine-February 2000. (I do that if I see something I really like because I figure I won't be able to find it again. Then I put all my articles in a folder.) I was leafing through my folder last year sometime and I thought I would look up Mary Teeter (she makes art with buttons) on the internet, to see if you could buy her art. You can buy it here and here. Well, I love it, but it's too pricey for me, so I made my own. Obviously, mine's not nearly as nice as Mary's, but it only cost a dollar or two.

I bought the frame at Goodwill. The fabric is cut from an old quilt top. I put a piece of batting behind it. I wish I would have embroidered the text more neatly, but I

didn't feel like doing it over, so it had to do.

This lovely, little piece lives in our downstairs bathroom.
