Gail Hughes Art Button selection

Gail Hughes will be selling her gorgeous buttons at the Quilt Festival, November 2 (preview night) through November 6, in Houston, Texas. She designs and manufactures them herself in the United States. Hurray!

In case you’ve missed my previous posts about Gail’s buttons, let me gush about them some more. They’re colorful. They’re all shapes and sizes. Some have glitter or other sparkles. Some are shiny, while some glow from within a matte finish that reminds me of delicious candy. I have some of her flower buttons that would be perfect for the clothing of a Dr. Seuss character. But she also has some crisply sculptural buttons that will send your mind back to the Art Deco era and Bakelite.

I buy Gail’s buttons because of a primitive human need to own beautiful objects. Sometimes there’s a cardigan awaiting closures. Other times I design a project around the buttons.

Experience the thrill of buttons at Quilt Festival next month!
