A buttoned up finish on the
Pockets full of blessings
wall quilt
Stamping tags, and attaching buttons to the pockets on our
pocket-filled wall hanging.
Place two or three small stitches at the pocket
intersections prior to sewing a button onto the same spot.

As I mentioned at the beginning, this wall quilt is
very versatile. Here are the instructions for finishing
it up as an Advent Calendar.
In order to make the pockets more stable, and
give it some sassy style, sew some buttons onto
the intersection of each pocket. I used a variety of
buttons from my vast collection of vintage buttons
in red. Don't worry, there's a few hundred more
where they came from. These buttons will also
serve as the hangers for the number tags when the
wall hanging is being used as an Advent Calendar.
Cut 24, 6" lengths of bakers' twine or pearl cotton.
Use a lark's head knot to attach the twine to the
tags.
Stamp numbers 1 to 24 on the tags. You can go
with just numbers, or numbers and tiny graphics. I
opted for a series of both.
