SUMMER 2014 - ARTS 

AND CRAFTS WITH 

GRANDMA MAURINE

Maurine's

Fiber

Friends

Devorah spent a very creative week with 

us in Las Vegas.  Several years ago I 

taught her the basics of crochet.  She 

now crochets baby blankets, baby 

booties, toys, scarves and hats both for 

sale and to donate to hospitals. She has 

been giving crochet lessons where she 

lives.  She even helped me with my 

crocheting.

Devorah crocheted "Harold the 

Seahorse" to give to a child and 

crocheted many scarves.  I 

bought her 32 skeins of yarn for 

these beautiful ruffled scarves 

and before she left for home she 

had crocheted a number of them 

which she plans to sell.

When she was at our home the last time, she started to needle felt a figure. 

 This time she finished "Zaidy Fishel", a very handsome one tooth guy.

A couple of weeks 

before she came to visit 

I asked her if she would 

like to learn how to 

weave on a triangular 

loom where when you 

weave one side the 

other side gets woven 

at the same time. She 

wove a triangle and she 

said when she returns 

she wants to weave 

other triangles on this 

portable loom and 

crochet them together 

for either a blanket or a 

stole.
