I'm fascinated with the contrast in color and texture between the mellow background, hand stitched red and the much varied-textured buttons. Like Kathy's and Linda's, I'm very " drawn in" by the complexity of what at first glance looks quit simple, yet is anything but!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17154076191981373564noreply@blogger.com
