Here is the darling little quilt I received from Jean D. Featured in a magazine too! Hand sewn and she made the buttons, I love it. Also included are patterns with buttons that she makes, awesome! Everyone of you ladies is so talented and I enjoy every little quilt I see here. This is such a fun group.

klgls -- that got me going, haha! I worked on yours almost all day today. I almost have the top done and I'm liking it so far! We have a memorial service to go to tomorrow afternoon so I probably won't have yours ready to mail to you until about Wednesday the 25th! I had to locate the pattern first and then I added this and that to it but I am here and I am asewin'

The Trick or Treat quilts are so cute! Love the Frightful Cat Sight, Jean! Nice job, as expected! SapphireRae--beautiful Fall quilt! If I missed your quilt anyone, just chalk it up to my mushy brain at the moment. BTW, what is October theme?

how adorable I could hang that up all year next to my embroidered pumpkin with kitties!

no tools its not fair to the rest who might not have a tool or can't afford one (ie me). so theme away without tools please.

That is very cute, and how does she make the buttons? I would love to know how to make some?

Hi June, I make the buttons with white earthenware clay and then fire them in a kiln. I know you can buy a polymer clay in the craft dept. I have never tried that clay but I've seen beautiful buttons made out of it. You can also find small wooden shapes and drill holes in them for buttons. I cut out the shapes with small cookie cutters. There are different places you can order them online. Just google mini cookie cutters. Some buttons I fire twice and glaze, but the pumpkin and cat head I paint with regular old acrylic paints! I love experimenting with different techniques with paints.....hope this helps! Don't be afraid to try different techniques and see what you like the best!
