All Buttoned Up!

This Button Jar Pin Cushion is a project that I did with my downline back in the Spring to showcase Stampin’ Up!’s lovely Designer Fabrics.  They are all very high quality fabrics and share our beautiful cardstock colors in them.  This particular fabric is from the Springtime Vintage collection.  The fabric is 100% cotton and each box includes three coordinated designs in an extra-wide fat quarter size – each piece is approximately 27″ x 18″ and sells for $9.95.  If you are a quilter or sew, you can use these fabrics along with our Big Shot and selected dies to cut your fabric with ease. Check the fabrics out on page 196 of the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog and you will be able to choose from new holiday fabrics in the Holiday Mini Catalog as well which goes live on September 1.  These would make great gifts for your quilting and sewing friends!
