Quilting in my sleep cap
Last night I put on my sleep cap and turned the heater on in my sewing area. At about six this morning I had finished the quilt I worked on all night. It is so wonderful to see my finished quilt while I enjoyed my morning coffee.

Place two button holes just big enough for the ribbon on the fleece circle in the are where the strip will cover. Sew the strip together and finish sewing to the circle.
Draw the ribbon through the button holes with the safety pin. when there is one end exiting each button hole pin the two sides together.
