As promised, this week I am going to show you some of the projects that we had on display in our booth at the quilt show. Better late than never, right? These are things that friends helped me get together while my arm was broken and I didn’t get a chance to blog about. Well, my arm is feeling much better and I can type with both hands now. Physical Therapy made it feel so much better. So, back to blogging. I have no excuses anymore!
My mom made up sets of handmade crochet flowers for us to sell. A set of 3 in approximate sizes 2.5″, 2″ & 1″. She made 8 different sets. The variegated purple is my fave!
She also made individual ones for us to use in kits. This is the sweetest Little Wallet kit. It only requires 2 fat quarters. And who wouldn’t want to be original and have a cute crochet flower instead of a button! These wallets whipped up really fast. I didn’t want to stop making them. Great stocking stuffer, don’t ya think?
And then we kitted the slippers with flowers also.
Lots of ideas for these cute flowers…hair clips and headbands for girls, scrapbooking, quilts. We even attached a tiny one to the cute appliqued owl for the Hootie & Friends quilt kit.
Each kit comes tied with a crochet flower…so cute!
Thanks Mom!

Great news about your arm, Lorrie. Glad to hear it.
You’re certainly keeping your mom busy with all the ideas you’re coming up with for her pretty crocheted flowers. The wallets are so cute with the flowers embellishing them.

Lorrie, I’m so glad that your PT went well and you’re making such good progress! These projects are all just darling! I love your mom’s crocheted flowers, too, sweet idea to sell the 3-packs. I have lots of them in every color, many variegated, from my aunt who I think used to crochet in her sleep :) I treasure every single item I have from her.
