Button Question

Oct 25, 2009 11 Replies

A friend of mine recently gave me some vintage buttons from her mother- in-law. I would like to use them on a sampler. Does anyone know of a saying about buttons I could use? I did a google search and just got sayings written on current buttons. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking for something longer (more words) so I can build a sampler around it. These buttons are really speaking to me to stitch with; they're just not giving me the words. :-)

If you don't find a longer one you like, you could maybe make a sampler out of a series of short phrases.

How about Cadbury's Chocolate Buttons? A childhood favourite of mine.

Is there a saying for this? I'm confused.
