Fantastic buys...if you are not into crocheting you could stitch them onto a quilt (bit like applique). Just remember to anchor them evenly so they don't twist or move.

I taught myself to tat. Not easy when you don't have someone to show you the "snap" trick. Tatting was very slow for me. I made a couple little butterflies, so I could say I did make something. Then quit. I may try again one of these days before my joints lock up.

The crochet circles are pretty quick once you get in the grove.

All in all, you won big time!
