Buttons, Buttons, Who's Got the Button? A Facebook Friday Post


 Image may contain: indoor


Did you ever play that game? I remember sitting on my Grandmother's stairway to the second floor of a large house, a cousin on each step, passing the button. Of course, the person on the highest step always won, they could see the passing. Silly game but we had fun!



Pat Sloan, quilt designer extraordinaire, has a Facebook page where Sewists share ideas. One lady saw this button challenge on another site and shared it here. She attached one button per day. After a short time, she looked forward to the daily stitch because she was dealing with many life stresses and found it calmed her spirit.  Her name is Brenda Marie from Quilt along with Pat Sloan group on Facebook. 

I have hoops, I have buttons, I have needles and thread.....mmmmm.

One more thing....do you need a quick light box? Check this out!

This isn't mine but it is a great idea. *let me be honest here, the scratches on that table would drive me up the wall!* Using your acrylic table extension place a little light or two to get the contrast you need to make the copies. I have a few of these lights from Harbor Freight.
