I swear it's not rigged!

This is just too weird and I PROMISE this isn't rigged!  The winners of the last two prizes have been two gals that I have been working with for BB Guest Blogger Spots.  Feeling like it looked suspicious, I almost asked the Random Number Generator to find another number- but then I thought-"wait, I am an honest person- why should TRACEY miss out on this ruler because I am afraid someone will think something is amiss."

So Mrs TraceyJayQuilts, gal- I am happy to say you are the proud new owner of this awesome ruler!

Is that a birdie on my porch?

Nope!  It was the UPS Man with a box full of Tweet Tweet lovelies.  They are all posted at Burgundy Buttons and ready for purchase!

What's New?

From the maker of Hello Betty.....

1933 

from Cloe's Closet 

Chloe’s Closet represents a longing for the past both in color and pattern. Her designs spring from her collection of childhood trinkets and flea market treasures. No one ever would have thought that being a pack rat would inspire a career of fabric design! Her passion for all that is retro brings a flare of playfulness and innocents to every collection she designs.

and from Moda's very own designers.....

Half Moon

All I can say is...WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW and WOW! 

(did I say WOW?)

This is one STRIKING collection.  It's BLACK and WHITE and AMAZING.  Now, this chick has never even thought about making a Black & White quilt before- but I sure am now!  I really think I might use this quilt pattern from my buddy Carly.  I think the contrast between the two color-ways will be breathtaking!  What do you think?

As many have come to realize, I am slowly but surely ordering more and more yardage.  My biggest hold up on yardage was not financial- but more of a time constraint.  I 'Burgundy Button' in the early am and evening, before and after the big Corporate America job.  But as a couple of you know, my first employee will be starting soon- and I am SOOOO grateful!  As there will be time to cut fabric...so it shall be!

So I just HAD to buy Half Moon yardage too!  It will be here next week!

Something New for You to Love!

I get alot of requests for fabric by the yard.  For reasons both financial and storage, I have always been a little bit reserved about purchasing huge bolts of fabric, but I have decided to start purchasing a few bolts here and there from the upcoming Moda collections.

I mean- you DESERVE the Burgundy Buttons price! $6.80 a yard for those who are involved in the Pre-order,  $7.00-$7.25 for everyone else.

So here's how I have decided it's going to work- I have created a Google Group and will be posting the collections and fabrics that I have determined would be a good fit for a bolt purchase (ie- I would be willing to use the remaining yardage on a bolt that didn't sell).

Starting with my favorite- 12 Days of Christmas! 

So request an invite to our Google Group today- and determine what yardage you would like to purchase from Burgundy Buttons!  (at the bottom of this posting)

Here are the items up for "vote" from this great collection..

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.

She also posted this on my blog..

"hey! aww, thanks for all the BB love. Just like Leah said, you ROCK! But come on, Leah, i'm no Greek God...not even close (though i sure do like the sound of it..especially if it includes superpowers). Sheesh, i can barely keep a consistent 1/4" seam allowance! I'm just someone trying to make the world a little brighter each day (like all of you). Don't forget to send/post pics of projects you make w/Verna! It's so fun to see all the creative ways people use the same fabric. enjoy! hugs, kate"

The patterns are on their way to Burgundy Buttons right now and will sell for $20.00.

As she always does, Sandy has created a stunningly whimsy-fab little winter collection in an delightful holiday palette. Adorable ornaments, hollies, trees and of course- (you know Sandy) PANELS!
