Of course I will share my button bookmark, but please realize that it isn't all my own work! I used Anne Franklins idea. I made this one with no 70 thread and the tiniest buttons that are sold for scrap booking, less than eighth of inch across. Ones with four holes. I hope you can understand my pattern. I am not good at writing them yet. I have no idea at all how to draw diagrams.
