Stitching in the Garden

 This set was designed by Hands on Design, and I'm thrilled with how it came out!

I stitched the tray, first, and as I stitched those button flowers I knew I must use real buttons. But I was worried they might catch on anything I put in the tray, so I opted just to use them for the pincushion. Which matches with the appliqued felt and decorative pins in it. 

The sewing theme means I'm linking it to Jo's People's Choice SAL post for September. My first link-up!

This design has sparked two obsessions: sewing-themed cross stitch and tomato pincushions, so I'm plotting more projects that I totally have time for.
