Is it Fruity as a Nutcake, or Nutty as a Fruitcake?

Who cares! Ya' got your nuts and your fruit, who can argue with that? But we're here to talk about fabric..

Basic Grey, the makers of last Christmas's blockbuster hit, Figgy Pudding; is back at again for the holidays.


Reminiscent of it's predecessor, Fruitcake is a fun filled collection that is all that represents the holiday season. Ornaments, snowflakes, holly berries, pine needles, snowmen, stripes- it's all here!

Several items are available now as a pre-shipment at BurgundyButtons.com. I have a feeling this collection will go fast! So don't wait!

Fabric and Flame Don't Mix!

A couple months ago, a friend introduced me to a wonderful flameless "candle" by Scentsy, and I fell in love. Scentsy offers a flameless wax burners and scented tarts that will do nothing but leave you wanting more. And their beautiful too! From classic to urban to artsy, there is a warmer to fit everyone's decor. And then let's talk about the wax! Now, I do consider myself to be some-what of a scent connoisseur, have a nose like a hound dog- and can spot a fake, icky scent a mile away. But these scents can't be topped! I have tried everything from Yankee to Gold Canyon to the little candle at the country store and I have never come across something as delightful and realistic as these scents. I immediately knew I wanted to offer them at Burgundy Buttons! Upon investigation, I found that I couldn't actually offer them at my store, but had to become an independent consultant and then offer a link from my store, so that's what I did. (see link at the side of my blog and at Burgundy Buttons)

I personally enjoy the Bakery Collection as there is nothing more inviting than the smell of a warm sticky cinnamon bun! But the French lavender is very well suited for the bedroom. There are just so many to love.

This month's special is this lovely opulent warmer "Victoria" and a very fresh scent "Spring Clean". Get them for a reduced price during the month of March!


Spring clean is as refreshing as a cool breeze and morning dew blended with orange blossom, crisp white florals, and a whisper of sheer musk.

Can't decide on your favorite a scent?  Check out the multi pack and select 3-6 scents to start with at a special multi-pack price.

Start your Mother's Day Project Now!

She gave birth to you, burped you, bathed you, changed your diaper and then real dirty work started!

It's so fun to see all the creative ways people use the same fabric. enjoy! hugs, kate"

Tie One On for National Quilt Day

National Quilt Day is March 20th!  The National Quilt Association has created a pattern to help you show your love for quilting.  Part of the tradition is to dig into that scrap bin and use what's on hand for your new treasure!
