So this one combined with my like of miniatures (see previous post) was a no brainer for me to capture on film (digital - doesn't have the same ring).

a close-up:

The stippling is beyond micro... That is a seed bead in the middle of that flower. I am not usually a fan of whole cloth, but the darker green thread & the contrasting threads really make this work for me.
I am also not usually a fan of the beads, but it is effective here instead of just "I need to add something else." (It is also perfect for the quilt in the previous post.)
The "only" other time I liked buttons were on this quilt:

closer-up:

(You might have noticed the bright green again...) I blogged it along with a ton of other quilts in early 2007. - March & February to be exact if you car to take a trip in my way back machine. Back then I took copious notes on the titles, makers & ribbons won... Not to rehash it, but some "art" quilters did not like me (& others) posting their quilts (with complete credit) so I quit jotting down names & titles...
While I am on a button kick...
The was a cute quilt that hung at Sisters & used HUGE buttons:

(Yes, those buttons are lime green....)
