I didn't transfer that on to my kids - yet- we get together and have 'craft day' - we made pillowcases, and now bags. So, they are learning. Love the buttons.

I so enjoyed reading your story about how your love of sewing all started:-) My mom was quite the seamstress and made all our clothes while growing up. She tried to teach me but I never had any interest in it. Sad, considering I was her only daughter with 4 sons! lol Nowadays she only makes angels but still makes their gowns, complete with frills and lace. Her eyesight isn't very good so it's a wonder she can still do a bit of sewing!! xoxCarole Buranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497329055251626140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791304731827660383.post-70311725693456128532008-04-12T10:59:00.000-07:002008-04-12T10:59:00.000-07:00What a great show and tell.

I don't have much of a button collection myself, but I have to admit I am attracted to the big tubs of buttons at some of the quilting shops I've gone to. Such beautiful little treasures. I really like the framed buttons, what an awesome way to display part of your collection.

She had tons of them so they were divided up, some for all of us gals. It was a great source of pleasure for her in her later years working on those buttons. <BR/><BR/>I agree with you on the sewing. I didn't start as early as you did but I did use my mother's old iron peddle sewing machine. I have my aunts now but it's more for decoration. It still works but when we have the lovely machines that we work on now who would want to go back to the old ones.<BR/><BR/>Yes, it's fun working on winter/Christmas scenes now. I needed something different to do and I so love machine applique. My customer received the wall hanging today and was very pleased which makes me feel good. I will post it next week, it's a smaller version of the tractor quilt that I made for D. Her hubby collects tractors. I know I need to be working on totes but I just wanted to do this for awhile.<BR/><BR/>It's Friday already. Where do the weeks go? Back to the barn tomorrow with Funsize to do more grooming. That winter hair is awful to deal with each spring. Wish I could just clip them off completely but they would freeze!<BR/><BR/>Take care and have a wonderful weekend!!Midlife Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531655128417397650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791304731827660383.post-66693363268090699282008-04-11T14:43:00.000-07:002008-04-11T14:43:00.000-07:00How cool!
