Several years ago I wrote a post about buttons. I have both my mother's and my mother-in-law's button collection along with my own. Both reflect the woman who owned them - as I'm sure mine does. And I have a deep inability to use some of the buttons in any project that will leave me and never come back again. They are so much more than buttons to me. Some of the ones in my mother's box have been there since I was a little girl. I remember looking through them during the long lazy summer days. I just can't seem to part with them.
Yesterday our quilt guild speaker, Deborah Schupp of Gumbo Design Studios shared several of her quilt designs. This one caught my eye and a bit of my heart:
She made this wall hanging out of buttons from her mother and grandmothers...and maybe great grandmothers.
There is definitely one of these in my future!
