Quilter’s connection magazine is the magazine for Canadian quilters. When I received this month’s electronic newsletter, I was very pleased to see the main article titled “Quilt Labels -why bother?”.
Along with this great article was a free Pumpkin coasters pattern to download The only difficult part of making these coasters was finding buttons.
Apparently when I was house cleaning this spring I packed away my button bottle.  I don’t have a clue where it might be.  I’m hoping it is in the same box which contains my large glass bottle of selvage edges.
A quick trip to the local thrift shop and I had four leather buttons at a cost of 35 cents.
This pattern is very easy and a great way to use scraps and small pieces of batting.  I used a piece of white wool blanket for the batting. The ribbons were recycled from a wedding invitation.
Here’s the pattern to download.
Dianne they are adorable.
