More Buttons And Pin Cushions

Here’s another set of buttons.

Trying to come up with some new designs for the buttons. The ladybug button was a totally disaster. Poor thing got squished. No one wants to see a smashed ladybug. It’s not pretty.

Three more pin cushions. The button on the left one if a new one too. I didn’t want to make a bunch and find out they look terrible. It has a big ball of glass on the top. I’ll be making more of these in different colors.

Buttons, Pins Cushions and Beads….

I’ve been bouncing around finishing up a lot of things this weekend. I’m still working on more beads and buttons for my cousin’s quilt show. Here are a few more.

Shank style buttons with a cherry design on them. They kind of look old-fashion to me.

Kitties!! That one on the end has a flat head. He kind of looks like Iggy with the fat cheeks.

My mom’s quilting teacher gave her a little pin cushion. It’s really cute. She got the pattern and is going to make me some to sell at the craft show. Here’s the first few.

Aren’t they cute? I’m going to make the buttons that go on them and try to match them to the fabric.

More Things For My Cousin’s Quilt Show

I’ve been steadily making things for my cousin’s quilt show. Since I have no idea what they want I’m trying to make a variety of different things. First up is buttons.

I’m planning on making a few more of these since only a couple match. These are fairly small.

I started out making the two buttons on the right. I realized the frit would look better on the bottom of the buttons, that’s when I notice I got a round blob when I melted off the glass rod. They kind of look like a kaleidoscope.

Just a couple of purple and white dot buttons. I’ll probably make more of these in different colors.

Now, a few beads…

More birds. I like making these. They are really fun.

Bunnies!! Two white ones and two pinkish blush ones. I was getting tired of making all white ones.

A set of round beads that have glass shards applied to an opal yellow bead.

Crochet Shawler

I finally finished my shawler. It’s a pattern by Shelle Hendrix. It’s kind of a shawl, kind of a sweater. This one is crochet, but I knitted the cuffs.

Front and back views. I made the glass button on it but I forgot to take a close up picture of it. Dud…

Buttons

My cousin’s quilt club wants some buttons to sell at their quilt show. These are a few samples I’m going to give her to show the coordinator. Hopefully they will want to buy some.

They will get to see them in person which is better than this picture taken with my broken camera. Can you tell I’m miffed because I broke my camera?
