Buttons, Buttons

Buttons and Quilting 2016 004 (440x330)

I enjoy using buttons in a quilting project when it is not actually a quilt. Ten buttons per card and I am down to the last fourteen to sew on.  The staples that hold the buttons onto the card are as much of a pain as the actual sewing.  Ironically my Bernina is not the machine for sewing on buttons. My fifty-year-old Sears Kenmore is back in harness. I can control the back and forth sewing to attach the buttons in an easy motion. The Bernina is too much speed even if I want to take it slow. A gal learns those things by what else . . . breaking a sewing machine needle.
