MISSION POSSIBLE
This month we are joining
the MISSION POSSIBLE Team.
To get in the mood , click
here and play the music theme, while you read this message :
Good day FFFC member.
It has come to our
attention that there is an evil Button-Snatcher on the loose. Men and women are
showing up for work with
no buttons left on their clothes. There are no known pictures of the
button-snatching ring or
its leaders. Our target is outside the reach of conventional law
enforcement, so it is up
to the FFFC members to find out who or what is snatching our buttons, and
what they are doing with
them.
Your mission, fellow
quilter, should you decide to accept it, is to obtain evidence of the Button-
Snatchers and/or find out
what they are doing with our buttons. As always, should you or any of
our FFFC Force be caught
or de-buttoned, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your
actions.
The MISSION POSSIBLE scene
is set. Who or What are the Button-Snatchers?
What are they doing with
our buttons?
For this month’s challenge
you will use at least five (5) buttons in
your design. Any size or color
will do, and they do not
have to be alike.
Our Design Element is Tones.

Here is an ad for thread,
grouped by tones. I am not selling thread and don’t have any connection to the
advertiser, I just like
the color groupings. http://tinyurl.com/9hcgj3p

(Is this the creature
stealing our buttons?)
Missing buttons
Where do our missing
buttons go? Are they being recycled? Do our buttons become food for
some alien nation? http://tinyurl.com/8e752po
Are they decorating winter
trees?
A Google search will bring
up many images of “buttons on quilts” and “buttons in art”
A few examples: Jamie Fingal’s
