Embellished Towels

I have been asked to share these wonderful works of art created by my mom, Maria Luisa Alvarado.  She is a veteran crocheter, and all my life she has always been working on something.  She typically would follow patterns from vintage booklets.  Sometimes she would work on stuff I thought, faddish, like the cutting of printed patterns on fabric and iron transfer onto t-shirts.  So 80's lol.  Although I did like the dress she made for me adding fabric to the bottom of pocket t-shirts, hard core 80's.  Anyway, when I visited with her this past Spring Break she showed me her latest projects, and I was so amazed.  I realized that she has been getting more creative and free-style since my dad has passed, 9 years ago.  She works diligently on her art to keep her mind occupied and to cope.  Some of them are patterns like the colonial woman in a dress, but she comes up with the rest on her own such as the trees and plants.  She also embellishes with crocheted lace and adds beads.  The floral bouquets are all completely her own design.  Absolutely beautiful.  I am just blown away.  Her choice of medium to work on is bath towels, or hand towels.
P.S. I also had very little control over where the images went, so sorry that they are scattered.  I don't even know how I managed to get my text in the middle.
