I Missed The Memo.....

On Buttons!

Buttons were everywhere at QuiltCon. 
Buttons are the new calling cards!  
I was ready to hand out my business cards with a pin
to join in on the Button Frenzy!


This where my buttons now live!


(Yes Lee! I am the fabric Corn Husker Hole contestant that was in your class!)




 This quilt hangs from a ceiling track.
 It is hiding a queen size Murphy bed.


I just slide it over when the bed is needed.



Not wanting to waste space my hubby cut PVC tubes to store Pantographs.
I have to admit-this is not all of them!



Close-up!




And here is what it looks like with the bed down.
And the panto's stay under the bed all in place.


The pictures are very yellow.
Sorry!

  1. Oh look how clever you are - I love the panto storage!!! Triple love it! I have been trying to figure out how to organize mine as they have become a total mess. I'll have to show this to my clever husband and bat my eyes a little bit, hee hee. And you've found the perfect place for your pins. Score!

  14. The button swapping was really fun, sorry you missed the memo. I'm not sure of the timeline or if you're interested in having a batch made to be part of the after-the-fact pin swap happening through marci_girl on IG for those who have left overs or didn't get a chance to? So nice of her to organize it.
