Thanks for all the response. I will be sending out the patterns that I have received PM's for sometime next week. GOD Bless all.

oh those are so sweet....when i can`t quilt i paint rocks

God Bless your creative hands

Those are adorable. After I had surgery I couldn't sit up long to do anything so I read. I have been a reader all my life and would probably lose what little is left of my mind if I couldn't do that. I always reach the limit of how many books I can check out at a time .. lol Thank goodness for libraries. I do have a grandmother's flower garden I have been working on for years. I take it to the hospital with me to sew the fabric to the papers. I have all the papers cut and pieces of fabric the right size. I get bored with tv easily.

I wish I had your talent. I am able to do a lot of crafty things, however painting has always been my desire but have never been able to do it. GOD Bless

your hats are very cute- but i have a question....if you can sit & crochet, why can you not sit & sew? there are lots of hand piecing projects that are fun, easy and would fill that (void)...english paper piecing or cathedral windows are both projects that are easy to do...
just wondering- what the difference is in your (limitations) that is keeping you from being able to quilt/sew?
great hat's though- & a great reason for making them ;)

Due to my injuries from a fall, I can move my arms from my elbow to my hands but not from my shoulder to my elbow. My right shoulder surgery has failed leaving my right arm unable to move very far from my side and my left arm is in what they call an immobilizer and attached to my body with a brace. I sit with my left wrist secured to my body and my right arm bent at the elbow to crochet. Thanks for the question. I sent you a PM explaining this further, Thanks

Those are so sweet. I know my DIL would love the non-traditional colors more than the pastels for her new baby so go for it!

I have friends that do that also. My craft class of elderly ladies crochet doggie and kittie blankies for the humane society and they go home with the pets. so far have done over 300. They are square to fit the cages

Cute hats and the colors are great. I think babies like bright things. What a great gift for new babies!

Your hats are so cute. So nice of your to donate them. I would love to have the pattern.

I knit wash cloths out of cotton yarn. All my friends love them, I don't make them fancy or anything. I buy the yarn on sale at Michael's and can get the wildest colors. So soft and are great to use.

how cute! Love the different colors too. I deal with days / weeks when I just can't seem to get to my sewing room (fibro or orthopedic issues) so I'm learning to hand embroider. I have a machine embroidery unit but thought this would be a good alternative when I can't sit up straight in my sewing room.

They are lovely. Would you please post directions? Thank you.

I am on week five with my broken finger in the splint. I have been busy going through magazines, blogging, trying to organize (but I think I have more of a mess). I did my first gentle sweeping today; one hand vacuum cleaning today. Dishes are washed. I have been to several LQS. Watched YouTubes. Walk two miles a day. I type for a living so I have been using six fingers and one thumb. Counting the days until I can use two hands again. And mainly trying to not rebreak this finger. Nothing creative though. I am so looking forward to quilting.

I think your baby hats are precious and would also like the pattern. My husband works in a hospital and maternal care, would love to have these for their newborn. thanks for sharing!

so glad you got a project going i know what you mean about keeping busy... i would love to have the pattern if you can... those are so cute.. thanks again for sharing

You are a blessing to newborns, thier little heads seem to be quite cold, when I can't quilt, I do cut-work embrodiery, it is portable and it goes fast

Thanks for the kind words. What is cut-work embroidery?

All of the patterns have been sent out. Please let me know if you didn't receive one that you requested. GOD Bless

M.D. Anderson visits with DH got me knitting. Saw another lady making dishcloths and thought that was perfect to keep me busy. Staying in small apt. Waiting to get in a house started me on jewelry. You can get into a lot of trouble when you can not quilt!

Thank you for doing something for others. Keep up the great work.

Thank you so much for the kind words in response to this project. I was so pleased with the response from the ladies requesting the pattern. GOD Bless

I love the hats. About how long does it take to make one? I love all the color choices.

I can make one in about an hour but I have been crocheting for about 65 years and people tell me that I crochet very fast. I would guess the average person could make one in about an hour and a half. Sent you a PM.

Those hats are so cute. I knit hats, but mine are adult hats for me and my family. Here's a sample.

What a wonderful job. I do knit a little. If you wouldn't mind sending the pattern to me, I will be glad to send you my e-mail address. Thanks

I'll just PM you here on the board. Let me get it and I'll send you a PM in a few minutes.

These are so cute. I am so happy you have this project.

If you could pm the pattern, that would be awesome! Mom loves to crochet, has been making throws for the nursing Home as well as baby blankets for project Linus, all crochet...but I bet she would love the skull cap idea!

Great thing to do, and nice the dr. knew u needed it too, I LOVE EM all

oh i LOVE them!!!! yes please i would LOVE the pattern!

When I travel with DH, I have to stay busy so I have started to take my rug hooking projects. I have tried knitting and crocheting but it has not caught on...I have made several place mats and a small bedroom rug. The reason I have to have something to do is that otherwise I am telling my DH how to drive and or when to change lanes etc.... He does not like that....

This is so funny....my DH has had to quit driving for health reasons, but he hasn't learned to quit making the decisions on when to change lanes, slow down, etc., while I am behind the wheel. I wish he would start doing rug hooking or something. LOL!
