Thanks very much for the offer to send some along, but I think you're probably right. Still, if you're looking to offload some... :D Package into the mail tomorrow!

I personally like the look of buttons tying a quilt but they are not nice to lay on. Buttons don't have to cost too much... maybe your thrift store has a jar of odd ones. Of course Etsy would be a great place to look. Heck, I will send you some. I have tons.If your return address is on the giveaway package you are sending (yipee!)I will send some buttons. Great Job, You must feel so good.

It must feel like such an accomplishment to get this done! It's too bad we cannot fix our relationships like we can our projects! If we could problems with mothers could be a missed stitch or french knot that was accomplished with practice! As far as the string is concerned, I did a small amount of hand quilting many moons ago. I did use cotton yarn. But this was not a full sized quilt either. I know there are some finer gauge yarns, I use one from Jo Anns that is bamboo/silk. It lives in the back row of the yarns by the embrodery floss. It runs about $5-$6 a ball. I usually get it with one of the 40% off coupons! Not sure if it will do the trick but it's a suggestion. Hope it all works out! Very impressed! It must feel like such an accomplishment to get this done! It’s too bad we cannot fix our relationships like we can our projects!
