My daughter, Betsy (right), has had a toothbrush hat for a while. She likes it because it is warm and such a fashion statement. I made one for Betsy's friend, Jen. I gave it to her at Christmas.
Jen's mom and daughters liked it! They tried the hats on for size and chose colors. Here they are - finished! I mailed them Friday.
They can always use them as bowls when they are not wearing them. I'm thinking of making a larger, shallower version of this to use as a bowl ... I want to make a few trivets too. If you already know how to make a toothbrush rug, they make up very quickly. Try it!
I like them as bowls. or baskets? is that crotcheting?
ReplyDeleteit is not crocheting - it's more like a blanket stitch. google toothbrush rugs and you'll see.
ReplyDeleteHello Deb, Your hats are wonderful . . . I am a hat person. I came here to see your quilting and found these amazing hats. You certainly are a girl of many talents. I'm curious about this toothbrush stitching, too. I think that I'll try You Tube, I'm a very visual learner. I love finding new quilting blogs, it seems that I learn something new from each quilter I befriend. I can certainly learn from you, your work is amazing. I love your crazy quilts; that is something else that I want to try. I started quilting around a year and a half ago . . . once you have been bit by the quilting bug there's is no turning back.

Your blogging sister,
