Button painting tutorial

My lucky day.....

When I sign up for a DYOB round robin I always check out the blocks when they are posted and see which I would choose if I were first in the rotation... This RR Cathy L. had chosen vintage valentines that had belonged to her mother and immediately I like the little one with the girl with the cookie and chef's hat knowing full well it might be gone by the time the blocks were sent to me.

So I was delighted when I was third in the rotation and it was still available.. Every once in a while I need a bit of just pure whimsy and this will be it...

I gathered ribbons, lace, beads etc. last night and I wandered around the the thrift store for a long time yesterday looking for the perfect piece of ribbing for this block.... Can you guess what for??? Wait and see.....

  3. My guess would be that you're going to make a cupcake holder. Dearest Gerry, I have a whole box of ribbing that you could've searched for, including lots of children's white ribbing with red trim... But the hunt is half the fun, isn't it?? I can't wait to see what you create!! Hugs, Cathy

  4. Oh, Gerry. I don't even want to try to guess. I love surprises anyway.

    Glad you are having a bit of whimsy. We all need a little whimsy especially during the winter when the doldrums set in.

    I do visit your blog almost daily to read about your exploits and was waiting to see my block show up!
