Buttons of Love

My Mom was a collector of many things. She loved baskets, pottery face jugs, hearts, kitchen stuff, magazines and country things from Georgia and North Carolina. After my Mom passed away, I wanted to pick just a few small things of hers to bring home so I could feel her close to me. I chose to keep all of her clothes. Even almost 2 years later, they still smell like her. Her clothes were made of beautiful colors...aqua, yellow, pink...all of the colors of the rainbow.  The first project I did with her clothes involved the buttons.  I took off every single button, hand sewed them onto a piece of her pink shirt, framed it and hung it on the wall. I absolutely loved how it turned out.
