Button memory quilted art
This is a mixed media piece I made with items I found while cleaning out my Mother in Laws’ home.
The background is created like a Log Cabin Quilt by stitching strips of fabric one to another and around the photo that is printed on printable canvas. The pieces are not the same width or length. It’s more of a free form kind of piecing. I added some top stitches in pink.
I also used buttons from Bubble Gum Button Bonanza, and added some fabric, buttons, a doily, piece of embroidery iron on, a flash card with the number 18 (which is about how old she was when the photo was taken), part of a greeting card, a key, the address from an old envelope and a small tassel.
I did a lot of remembering while I was putting this together. My mother in law has always been good to me.
Have you created a piece of art/craft to remember someone you loved? What did you make?
