Thanks! Years ago I bought a bag of mixed colored buttons to make button flowers. A friend of mine must have seen the same thing and made me a whole bunch! I really didn’t know what to do with the buttons. Some I passed on to another friend, but I still have a jar left.
The large button is nearly 5 cm diamter!

Announcement Time!
Thanks for your patience everyone! I am still in holiday mode!
We had 16 distinct members participate in the stitchalong in 2022…woohoo!! I entered everyone’s name into the wheel of names once to give everyone an equal chance to win our end of year drawing no matter how much or how little they participated. And our big winner for 2022 is…
Congratulations!! You have won the gift bag with a custom tag from @Magpie and the vintage felt cat kit from @endymion!! You also get to select our theme for January!!
Additionally, I have a couple other announcements/points of discussion for you all.

Given our current level of participation and interest, we will be moving to quarterly prize drawings. We will still have monthly winners who will select our new theme, but prizes will be offered and sent in March, June, September, and December. All stitch entries from the quarter will be included in the drawing. I will be sending a PM to those of you who have volunteered this year to send prizes to see if you would like to continue and set up a schedule. If you would like to be added to this group, please PM me! Thank you!

How does everyone feel about continuing on with the current thread? Should we start a new one in 2023?

Congrats @chameleonhound! Well done, you!
@Abbeeroad, I do find a new thread easier to peruse, especially since there isn’t a “view images only” function. When you go searching for a project you think is in there, multiple years are unweildy to scroll through

I interrupt this normally scheduled programing to announce…it’s time to VOTE for our current challenges!!
I, too, agree with a new thread.

Wow, thank you all!
I’m not sure if there’s a new thread yet but here’s a theme to start the year: Try a new technique!
I’ve been pondering a scrappy stitch and might have to give it a go. Maybe you’ve been waiting to try thread painting, beading, cross stitch, or even just a new stitch type? 2023 is the time to try! Happy New Year!
