Made the wall hanging here as a thank you gift to my cousin for letting me and my sisters have an annual week away at the place..I made the basic hanging then everyone chipped in to bring buttons, embroider flowers, etc. Sorry the pic is blurry.

Oh yes, this is fantastic. Very clever indeed. A lot of lovely ideas - and fine details. Can keep you entertained for quite a while trying to spot something new you did not see a second ago..... :thumbup:

Edges are really straighter than the photos show and it does look good on the wall at his place.
