This morning I finished piecing the front of my January Take It Further challenge. At this point, I don’t believe that I’ll be adding a border.
I plan to work on some embellishments next, using buttons from my collection. I am hoping to gather some vintage buttons that came to me from my grandmother. Wouldn’t they be perfect on this challenge project?
I might also add a bit of lace somewhere, too. My aunt & uncle (my grandmother’s son) used to own the J. C. Maile lace factory in New York and many of my grandmother’s small sewing projects were trimmed in laces from their factory. Even our Christmas gifts were trimmed in elegant laces!
On to the embellishments….

Lynn, your photos blend beautifully into your quilt. How wonderful that you have a lace resource in your family line. She must have loved getting all of the samples. Oh, to get Christmas gifts trimmed in lace.
Heaven!
