I love buttons and just bought a batch at yard sale ($4) a couple weeks ago. I went through them and found the interesting ones and passed along the rest (the majority) to another quilter. By and large most buttons are uninteresting (see the front of your husband's shirts) but every now and then you get a button that says something to you other than (I can keep this gap closed ;-) )

When I was a child Mother saved every button, even from Daddy's work shirts. If a garment wore out, she clipped off the buttons and saved them in her button jars. This was because there was no room for waste of any kind in our house. Every little scrap of fabric was saved for quilts, some of the larger ones made into aprons. Most of it was feedsack. I loved playing with Mother's button jar while she sewed on her Singer treadle machine. Later on my daughter too sat beside her grandmother playing with her button collection. I still love buttons. I have a friend who created a beautiful lamp by filling an old quart jar with buttons for the base of the lamp, then decorated the shade with others. She wouldn't part with it for any price. I'll bet you would have many takers should you offer to share your buttons you don't want.

I use lots of buttons on my crazy quilts!

I think of buttons as being special connections from the past, sort of like antique quilts. Someone "collected" and saved them from another era. I don't know...I just like buttons, too. They seem to have little personalities and are a representation of the lives of those who sewed and went before us on this journey.
