Some sheepish gifts for my daughter who crochets.
I began with a pack of 5 batik fat quarters and a piece of In-R-Form to make the bag. The sheep crochet design is from Embroidery Library (there is another one on the back.From the left over fabric I made a quilted zipped purse and a crochet hook case. The designs for these are my own from Yoriko's site.
I did adapt the crochet hook case so there was no satin stitch edge and I added an elastic loop to fasten instead of Velcro.
To finish the gift off I will add some rather expensive Herdwick wool.

16529Lovely ensemble. But I would require more hook bags as I too have acquired a large number of hooks over the years. I do have my grandmother's but that only accounts for two hooks. The rest I have bought as I put them down and then cannot find my hooks = lots of hooks.
Your daughter will love your thoughtful gift.
{If not, I will join the queue to be on your gift list. :-) }

My guess, is that Sue sees a need and then she fills it.
Is that close, Sue?
7584Love the way you quilted the bag. There are never enough holders for my crochet needles. Don't know exactly how many I have. But got all my moms and grandmother's along with their knitting needles. Every size imaginable tiny 12(Steele) to great big broomstick size. I love to crochet as much as I love to embroider. Knitting is down the line /Lillian LOL.
