    Susan and Jo, here are pictures of the washers made into buttons. I am going to put them on today. First I am going to go thru my bead box and see if there is a matching bead to put right in the center of the covered washer that is slightly bigger than the washer hole andmaybe kinda flat to sew thru to hold it tight on the coat. I am always glad when I can come up with something that I have here at home to use. Love , Patty

    PS I think I goofed I don't see my pictures so I will try again.

    It was a struggle but I finally got them on here I think and was able to add another previously posted pic of the coat they will go on. Now I am going to look at the beads!

    Hi Patty, hope you are well and staying healthy. I love your afghan and the different shades of lavender. You did a wonderful job on your coat and your idea of using washers as buttons is a very unique idea. Hugs and Kisses, Lynda Fey
