An Envelope for Letters

I do actually still write letters and what's more I receive them too!  Problem is, what do you do with a letter once it's read?

In my case, I store them all in here!

It's a silky spotty fabric, quilted with polyester wadding and black lining fabric.  I bound the edges with a wide white cotton bias binding.

 As you can see, my love of straight line quilting continues!

The button is an old one, I think it came from my mum's button box originally.
