Absolutely! I put a link to the no-sew fleece blanket in my reply.
I'm also wondering if she might like to just have some things to fidget with, giving her something to do with her hands. I don't know if she would feel insulted if you brought her products that are marketed toward children, but honestly, the following things are fun for grown ups too!
 
Some thoughts are kinetic sand, play-doh (scented or unscented), and pop beads (which can be used over & over.) Scented markers are also fun and provide a sensory experience.
 
I actually just bought some pop beads for my niece, and this is a nice set - lots of different colors and textures - great tactile experience. (Keep an eye on the price, it often goes back down to $19.99):

Just wanted to add that many of the above pose a choking hazard if, by chance, she tends to mouth things, so they might not be appropriate for everyone.
As someone that is seeing one of their parents go through mid-stage dementia, I ended up looking for help in places that I never would have thought to before. Despite my not being religious, I picked up a copy of No Act of Love is Ever Wasted: The Spirituality of Caring for Persons with Dementia, and am grateful for having had spent the time reading it (so much so that I emailed the authors just to thank them for their work.
I also picked up another book (which I've not yet read) that I believe was mentioned in the text above, that may be more apt to your situation than it is mine (at least yet). Loving Your Parents When They Can No Longer Love You. I can't speak to the work myself, but if it's half as worthwhile as "No Act of Love..." it will offer all kinds of thoughtful insight.
I'm not sure that I have much more advice to share at this point than this, but thought I'd at least point these options out to you.
We found steno pads to be helpful because at least the papers are held together in one place. Then, once they are full of notes, the pads can be put all together on a shelf and my mom likes that. Well maybe it's actually her OCD that does LOL. I suppose the challenge would be if your mom prefers to tear the note out of the book once she has written it down.
Sunrise Earth
If you like the nature clip at the end of CBS Sunday Morning, you will love Sunrise Earth. Non verbal, very few people.
If a smart TV or DVD player YouTube has extended nature videos. Here’s one that’s just 8 hours of a brook. Both Netflix and amazon prime have streaming nature videos. Netflix has some “slowtv” episodes (fishing, trains). Bob Ross might be another option.
You can also find a bunch of dvds on amazonocean views , tropical birds , or aquariums
