Stitching at Tracey’s

For three weeks the Red Buttons are stitching at Tracey’s place. Kirsty, our usual host, is away freezing her tail in New Zealand. We miss her… We have managed to find a few projects to console ourselves though. Tracey is drawing flowers around the dots on this beautiful piece of fabric. These will
