**** Button Club Happy Buttons *** 

It is so fun to design a project for the Fat Quarter Shop's Button Club. I like to have the buttons sit on my desk for awhile, it' lets me find a fabric or a inspiration to start the pattern.  The purple and yellow were my inspiration and when i found the Tula Pink Monkey Wrench fabric, I had to do big flowers! It turned out so cute!

I've been so inspired by the Messages of Hope that the people of Italy have been hanging on their balconies and putting in the windows... Rainbows!  This is to let their neighbors and friends know they are ok. And to give hope during this crazy pandemic.  You can see some of the banners at https://gulfnews.com/world/europe/art-in-the-time-of-coronavirus-children-in-italy-turn-to-art-to-cope-with-quarantine-1.1584259948710
