The stitching is finished, pressed onto some iron-on interfacing and glued to the jar lid. It's looking ok - just got to decide what ribbon/braid to put around the edge, I'll think about that for a while! I'm pleased at how the piece of fabric stuck so well to the lid, it was a fast grip, quick set craft glue. I squirted blobs of it onto the lid, patted it with a finger to even it out and kept pressing the fabric in place until it stuck, and it was fast grip glue!Sunday 8 March 2009

Hi Ann,I love your stitching projects. When my children were small I made most of their clothes and sweaters and never threw anything away, I recycled zips and buttons which I kept in a big tin.The buttons were even pressed in to use for missing counters on board games! Your post has brought me back!
I love it! That's just what I need - a button jar. I've always loved the way buttons look when collected in one place. Art in and of themselves. :) Melissa
