The fabric and buttons are perfect. I, too, have a collection of my mom's button's, the only difference is her buttons where never pretty ones, always the basic black and grey for pants and shirts. If shirt and pants became quilts, she would always cut the buttons off and save them for another project. So now I have them.<BR/>alvinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-67649895085248179592009-03-09T10:45:00.000-07:002009-03-09T10:45:00.000-07:00do we have to be fifty to get one....grindo we have to be fifty to get one....grincharlotte mgcchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11048116678193513487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-66735496424801916772009-03-09T10:17:00.000-07:002009-03-09T10:17:00.000-07:00I love the blog.

My sister still has all our grandmother's buttons and ribbons and trims; I've got the packets of sewing needles and snaps that must be 40 years old at least. And I still have a felt scissors cover my grandmother made and sent me when I turned 12...that was 46 years ago! <BR/><BR/>Your apron is beautiful, I love those fabrics.Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-64249534236662284812009-03-09T08:14:00.000-07:002009-03-09T08:14:00.000-07:00Lovella..I love your apron!

Now that I'm nearing the end of my tea towel supply...I think I will switch to a few 'aprons designed by Vee'. <BR/><BR/>Paska...another reminder that spring IS coming! Can you really bake paska on a snowy day, Lovella? It somehow seems wrong.

Sometimes I am too reluctant to use my vintage buttons, but they give sooo much joy that I think I'd rather use them and allow someone to enjoy them. And I hope, too, that whenever I pass by the button rack that I won't leave any on it that I simply love even if I can't figure out a use for them right now.<BR/><BR/>Paska? Oh boy howdy! It's time for paska again...I love, love, love it, especially the frosting. Oh yum.

There were so many - some I imagined to be diamonds, and others that surely had to be worn by someone famous. My mother never threw away a button...and I keep all of mine, too. <BR/><BR/>Someone is going to get a wonderful apron!! I love the colors, and especially those buttons used in that manner!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
