Minnesota Quilters had a guest speaker in early April 2025 who talked about buttons. It was so interesting! It's a whole world that I hadn't really thought about before.
Here are some random notes I decided to keep.
Buttons can be sorted by size:
- large - 1 1/4" or bigger
- medium - 3/4" to 1 1/4"
- small - 3/8" to 3/4"
- diminutive - less than 3/8"
- old is pre 1918
- modern / vintage is 1918 to present
They can also be divided by back type, material, construction, etc.
The Minnesota Button Society (yes, that's a thing!) is holding their annual show May 8-10 at the Double Tree Hotel in Bloomington. I'm thinking of going if we're in town!
