For me the button show went very well and I was able to display a lot of crazy quilting and it generated a lot of interest. Especially since I can't do it any more, I love to talk about it.   I wish I had taken more pictures as there had to be millions of buttons of every kind, material, size and shape.

I   darted away from my booth now and again but one had to really take time to get into the collections as there  were boxes and boxes on very large  cards to sort through besides boxes called "pokes" of individual odd buttons .  I didn't find out about them until too late.  I could have found some good paintable buttons I'm sure...

My buttons were a hit and some I sold right out of and will have to get busy again.  These included cottages, owls, iris, bees, etc.  Plus I took many orders for custom pet portraits on buttons.  And again I was taken by surprise by requests for things I had never painted before like a sailing ship for example.  And trees were really a hot item....specific trees in fact.  I have requests for a cork tree, willow tree, olive tree and a box elder tree. 

It really did my spirit good to get up and talk about how I use buttons in crazy quilting...  But today I am tired and am going to treat myself to a very lazy day with a long nap.

Janet is right, you’re looking great! So glad you had fun at the button show. From seeing collections to spreading the CQ word to getting orders, it sounds like it was a great success. Congrats!

You look fabulous and so does your booth. Any chance you could contact me about buying a couple buttons. I was really interested in the Daisy one if you still have it. Your Etsy store won't let me buy, being I am in Canada. Hugs and have a nice day.

I am glad you had such a good show and enjoyed yourself. You look great in the picture.
I was sorry to read that you do not feel you can do CQ anymore. You have certainly done so many wonderful ones. I would love to see your suffragette one. It looks so gorgeous. Hope we can meet again some day Gerry. Hugs Freda

ps Hope Morris is well.
