I just made this for a lady at my church to give to her daughter, she saw your pattern and asked me to make it. Your pattern was really awesome!!! I’m going to make one for my daughter who collects ladybugs. She’ll love it too! Thank you for sharing this. By the way I didn’t use buttons for the eyes, I did large french knots in the center of each eye. Thanks again!! 🙂
