Every quilt and/or quilt block has a story and over the years I have tried to write a bit down about mine….Sometimes, it’s a few sentences, I add them to my daily calendar, love to read them years later.

Meet  Beth Ann

Hankie Shirt

From Back of Closet to Wearing

I have been working on a hankie shirt. I purchased these hankies a few years ago and I’ve been seeing clothing using them (Pinterest) and I decided to give it a try. This is an old…Old Navy all cotton shirt, which I haven’t worn in a bit. It’s also one of the shirts from our overseas trip last year and I took a carry-on for 18 days and I wore it a LOT !

I haven’t been able to sit at my sewing machine for along time. It’s right there…but I sit down and I just can’t do it. And right now that has to be OK ! So, my shirt is hand stitches and hand quilted (top stitched). I laid it out on the dining room table and didn’t put it away. The idea was see it, do it. It worked !

Beginning cotton shirt

I used a total of 4 hankies, washed and ironed. I cut and appliqued each down and then hand quilted around the outside edge.

Added Hankie to front

Removed top stitching and cut down center and added hankie, stitched and top stitched.

This is my finished shirt. Only thing I would change is not adding to the side seams, it was not needed. I added a tuck or dart to fix it, or so you can’t see my bra !

And before  you ask, You can use a sewing machine !  And, yes I really am that brown, Florida baby !  I wear sunscreen and now a swim shirt, (the one I wear)  Sun hat too (the one I wear)

“The Ladies” they are The Quilt Ladies. They quilt every Tuesday together and after years of doing that, they’ve decided to do a quilt pattern book. So “The Ladies” was born, a quilt block sampler pattern book with 68 – Eight by Eight Inch quilt pattern blocks. All straight pieced, all cutting and piecing instructions included.It was decided that the Eight inch by Eight inch size would be a perfect size for the blocks not too small and not too large.

Make a Button Bracelet

Happy May Day Project

I have Husbands Grandmother’s buttons and I wanted to do something for just the Ladies in our family. 
And here is what I made, Button Bracelets
The Quilt Ladies Banner
The Quilt Ladies Quilt Pattern Shop
I had seen the bracelets on Pinterest, but no instructions so here is how “I” did it ! ! 
how to make a button bracelet
First the buttons
I laid each bracelet out and made sure that each one had at least one button the same in each bracelet, the white ones
For the bracelet you need one’s with 4 holes, I used 7 per bracelet
and then 1 button with just 2 holes for the end, to use as the clasp. 
how to make a button braceletI used cord “Jewelry Designer Satin Rattail”  cord 
5.49 m
 
I cut the length about 24″ long = double it over
button bracelet tutorial
Tie a knot in the end, this will be where the end clasp button goes through
Pull the cord up and then down over the other side. 
When you cross over and come up again this is when you need to 
have the other cord end UNDER that closing to hold it in place.
hot to make a button bracelet
Pull the cross stitch tight, and start the process over
with the cord NOT used on the first button and do 
it all again. 
I left space between each button.
When you get to the end, leave about a 1 inch of cord 
and add the 2 hole button, tie a knot at each hole
button bracelet tutorial
This is the end button which will become the clasp button
how to make a button braceletI made 7 bracelets 

I made gift cards as I’m pretty sure no one remembers I have these buttons.

Buttons provided by: Lucy Strub
Grandma !
