Ok, two more...

My SIL made the tulips. My mom has always had a large flower garden, even though dad is allergic to almost all of them. Every Sunday, she would make flower arrangements for the church next door as well as our church. When she didn't have enough room for the flower garden, she planted one at the church.
The blue background fabric is fabric my mom ice dyed for my sister's wedding. She made small quilts to cover hay bales (outdoor wedding, we sat on the bales) using the fabric and denim. She also made table cloths with the same fabric. When guests went home, there were enough small quilts that anyone who wanted one got to take them home. My son actually helped her with them, piecing several of the tops together for her.

Sewing machine and spools. SIL also made both of these, with my sister picking out the fabrics to use. Again with the creepy crawlies-- mom loves bugs and worms... The same wedding fabric is also used on one of the spools.
