When I saw my grandma's sampler showing these little trees (at least they look like trees to me :) I fell in love with it and knew I would try my hand in working the pattern out to fit for some warmers.
I made two versions and the second I believe is more beautiful because I added picots on the border. The tutorial I made contains that second version. The pictures here show the first version.
The pattern for the warmers.
And for some of them she made samplers which I am the happy and proud recipient of. I hope I manage to work out some of her other samplers - it would mean a lot to me - communicating with her again through her work.

Hi Maya, I love how pretty the hand warmers that you made look. It is wondeful that you have samples of your grandmothers work! Have a nice weekend. Wishing you a Merry Christmas too.

The wrist warmers are so pretty. You obviously got your talent from your grandmother. I can't work anything out in my head. HA! Best wishes, Tammy
