It’s such a worthwhile addition to the collection, and to my personal collection of projects this year. The day is marked by moving the star from the first button to the last button, 25. It is hand-stitched on wool felt (so nice) and then finished on machine (so easy). Plus the tutorial includes a nice step by step with photos of mitering the borders.
