Button Frame projects

Very simple projects inspired by several posts on Pinterest! Just chose the buttons colors that I liked, cut out the letter(s) from a foam sheet and glued on the buttons. Just let everything dry and frame.

The "Legend" project was done for my dad for his birthday. After gluing on the buttons, I sprayed the letters and backing with bronze spray paint, sprayed the photo mat black, and the frame bronze. It looked a little too shiny so I sprayed a thin layer of black to tone it down.

Quilts, Christmas 2011

Here are a few of the 15 quilts we made over a two-month period for the nieces and nephews. I put the quilts together and my wonderful mother-in-law and husband ran the quilting machine. Fleece was used for the backs of all but two of these to ensure they would be cozy when they snuggle with them.

The giraffe quilt was made for my friend's grand-son. I used flannel on the back.

The first two pictures are of the front and back of the one that was made for our daughter. I loved the MoMo fabrics, happy colors and cute prints!

I first learned to quilt from my mother, Patti Oates who passed away in October of 2007. She left behind loads and loads of fabric, which was used to create these quilts, each specially created for the grand children, making them extra special since they're kind of from her too.

Fun with frames, the quilt fabric project

For this project I found a couple of frames that were gathering dust in the garage. I spray painted them white and inserted fabric from the quilt I recently made for my daughter. Easy and pretty!

Fun with frames, the Izabella project

We did this project for a friend of my daughter for her 8th birthday. We spray painted an old frame silver, used the existing white photo matte, added a black one and a sheet of zebra paper from the scrapbooking section at Micheal's. Then we cut a letter "I" out of a sheet of hot pink foam and glued on pink, purple and silver (clear) jeweled hearts. Voila!
