"I make these to look more as a flower. I gave them out at Christmas at the VA hospital that I use one year and I painted some Christmas colors and some for Channukkah colors and some just pretty flower colors. I did it that way because there are Christians, Jews, and people who don't believe in the holidays but they all got a present. I made over 1,000 of them and they were all well received. Unfortunately my hands are not what they used to be. I wish I could make them now and give them out. I think I would make about 5,000 this year because there are more veterans that need the cheer."

"Also remember that thrift stores sell out fast, so if you see something that you like, grab it right away. It'll be gone if you wait to think it over."

"I created this applique as part of a challenge where the theme was Summer. What can you do with an applique? Sew it onto a granny square, garment or beanie, glue it onto the front of a card, starch it to create a pendant for a necklace or earring, make a bunch and string them together as a garland… Just to name a few. You'll need just a small amount of yarn for this applique, and the beauty of appliques is that you can use any yarn with respective size hook. I did use WeCrochet Dishie for mine, which is worsted weight. My applique took me about 20 minutes to work up."
