I love a challenge, especially when it's to find a new purpose for something old. When My friend Sherry at Oliver's Antiques in Jacksonville, AR asked me if I could do something with a box full of crocheted flowers her mother-in-law had made years ago I was very excited! The flowers had been done from scraps and hardly any of them matched. So the challenge began...
I had been working with Granny squares for a quilt and realized these were a perfect center-piece for a square, but then what?
I found two that matched and so my first Oliver Scarf was born...
I very much enjoy finding the perfect yarn to compliment the flowers.
It was Sherry's idea to add buttons...
Red and White and go Hogs go!
I know it's not for everyone, but I love green and yellow.
...And aren't these colors fun!!
Sherry is selling the scarves at Oliver's during her open house this weekend. She has done a fantastic job of displaying them as she does with all the items in her shop.
Awesome Stacey, love your beautiful creations and those flowers are just too cute!!
