I love them!!! I read about Dorset Buttons and had to have a go so here are my first try at these gorgeous buttons. The two plain pink ones are a bit rough. They are my very first attempt but I think the two multi colouted ones are a bit better. To find more information about these and other embroidered buttons. http://www.britishbuttonsociety.org/20070401DorsetButtons.htm
These next ones are made with Colonial Knots embroidered over the woven framework I think they are rather pretty and look like little bouquets.
These last three are my daughter's favourite. The center weave is done with the same varigated thread I used for the Colonial Knot on the previous buttons.
The next lot I have to try are Singletons.
