These handmade artisan buttons have been niggling my creative thinking since I purchased them from 'Lavender Lampworks' in Nov of 2014. Click
here for a post about the buttons. Below are two ideas I came up with.
Those of us who quilt and sew like to give and receive little gifts. At least I think so, don't you? So I've been designing card fronts for those lovely 'one of a kind' buttons to be attached to for gift giving. Do you have a favorite of the ones shown below: 1-4? I would love to hear about your choice in the comments or in an email

More bird designs, I'm a thinking!
TEXTILE ART
Then I thought I would try free motion stitching on white cotton. These are only small 4 X 6" size samples again for card fronts or to be used in textile art.

Using coloured fabrics could take these pieces in so many directions. "Would raw edge pieces neutrals work as a background", I wonder?

What about adding some pieced work? Do you have some other ideas to share with me?

I do like the bird the best and then textile art #D.
Neat stuff, Eileen! I love the buttons.
I'd be hard pressed to pick any favourites, but the bird makes me smile, and I'm such a flower fan they all inspire me. I can see these becoming a favourite with your clients!
Eileen these are delightful! I have 3 favorites....the very first card with hints of blue, the bird (of course) and the colored textile card #d.
