Grandmother Lillian's Snowflakes

A Package Arrived in the Mail Today!

Several months ago a packaged arrived in the mail from my parents!

I love when packages arrive out of the blue!

I opened it up ....and memories of my Grandmother Lillian flowed out of the box.

Sitting inside were 100's of her hand crocheted snowflakes.

I remember as a child her attempting to teach me to crochet... 

but to no avail!

I just simply didn't get it!

 Arranged neatly inside the box were also her hand crocheted tablecloths!

All these wonderful snowflakes...what should I do with them? 

I thought for several weeks and decided to lay them all out on the floor and just see what happens!

Much to my amazement.....when I was finished an amazing pattern formed.

It was as if Grandma Lillian had planned this all along.

                             I photographed them over the next few days.

 Each time moving and shifting them into a new design.

I then printed the results and added layers of brush strokes and color.

The results amazed me!

Depth, color, design, geometry, intriguing shapes...  I never dreamed of!

I took the images and created a line of fabrics, cups, china, note cards etc.

The fabrics are all located in my on line Jennifer Lake Fabric Store located on my blog.

The rest of the products are located in the Jennifer Lake Christmas Store also located on my blog.

I think my Grandmother Lillian would be very proud.

I never mastered crochet but I kept her memory alive by combining her talents and mine.

What a fun art experience and one I will treasure forever.

I hope you all will enjoy working with these fabrics and designs!
Please keep sharing those photos with me!
I just love what you all create!

Have a Wonderful Evening!

Maybe a box will arrive on your doorstep unexpected!
