Day 88 : Fan

One Button a Day 2020 by Gina Barrett - Day 88 : Fan

Day 88 : Fan


Today's button is a bit of an odd combination perhaps. A little bit of trapunto quilting, which I then tea dyed. Then I decided the quilting lines weren't really obvious enough so I added the darker lines, and then some needle lace stitching around the edge. And the tassel! :) The design just made me think of Elizabethan fans.

So the stitching uses perle No 12, and the mould is a No 3.

Size: 26mm / 1 1⁄16" / 42L
