Buttons can be such fun to play with. I have several tins full, some have been sorted into little bags to keep sets together, and lots are just loose. Whatever project I have in mind, it seems that there are plenty of buttons to use. I still have this Button Basket sitting in my sewing …

Jelly Roll Market Bag
I had leftover strips from the latest jelly roll project, and I really liked the soft, sage green colors. I also had these wonderful large buttons suitable for a coat. Knowing I will never make a coat, I had an idea for using them on a tote. If you don't have leftover jelly roll strips, …
More Fun at the NC Mountain State Fair
More fun at the NC Mountain State Fair began with the crafting competitions. I worked so long on this set of crewel ornaments last fall, and was thrilled to find them hanging in the crafting competition area with a red second place ribbon. This was baby animals day, and we were lucky to get to …

Basket UFO Finished
Thanks to everyone that commented with suggestions on how to finish off this Basket Quilt UFO. I had a deadline, and I actually made the deadline. I almost forgot to show it at the meeting because I had so much more on my mind that day. Several key members couldn't be there, and I was …

My trusty glue gun was fired up once again to make some new ornaments for an upcoming exchange. I made a bunch of these a few years back and thought it was time to revive the tradition. All you need are some cookie cutters and embellishments like buttons or crystals. You'll need a cookie cutter …
