And I added a rusted suspender clip as a hanger so this stitchlet is now ready to display. The fragment is made from a scrap of tattered quilt, an antique hanky, lace and buttons.
I am offering the suspender clips for sale in my etsy shop. You can get them very rusted or just lightly pitted. Either way, they will add a unique and functional detail to your art quilt or assemblage. Would also be a unique link or hanger in jewelry making. I am just beginning to experiment with them myelf, but I already think that they are the coolest things since buttons and keys in altered art.
Sold by the half dozen. Once you clamp them down, they hold on tight!

My name is Virginia, and I'm a lurker! I saw this post and absolutely love that piece. I had no idea who it was for until Linda forwarded an email to me!! And the other day she showed me those clips and I love them too! You make and have the best stuff!!!
after I saw your post I went right to your etsy shop - must have suspender clips! hope I can create an equally beautiful piece!
WAY too cute!
I think the clips are great, but I am IN LOVE with those sweet little birdies! I am thinking I need to learn to embroider...
