A few years ago I stitched the head of Lincoln in black and white.
Buttons are at the heart of my collection. One of my faves is the largest one near the top. It has a silver back mark and was made in 1951, my birth year.To the left of it is a real Lincoln penny set in metal. The bottom two blue ones are what button collectors call "jasperware", a type of ceramic.
Dear Linda, this is one of the neatest collection ever and quite a large one too! One of my favorite quotes (one I'm sure you are familiar with) comes from Abraham Lincoln:

Greatly enjoyed this post!

ReplyDeleteI've always had a very warm place in my heart for Lincoln as well. He represented all things good in my opinion.
