“Love
Strings”, “Liberty Strings”, “Hollow
Strings”, and “Christmas Strings” are
18"-wide.
Order the folksy metal hanger from www.joinedatthehip.com
Between
1860-1900, young American girls voraciously collected beautiful
buttons on long strings, known as charm or love strings.
The goal was to collect 999, & then the string’s
owner would see her husband. ---The Button Book by Diana
Epstein.
At some point, the women surely used the 999 buttons. Sewing
my whimsical quilts with lettering & details utility
quilted in perle cotton (a similar gauge as yesteryear string)
is a delightful way to display or share one’s collection
of buttons!
