This is among my newly acquired gems. This hand crocheted tablecloth measures about 52" x 78". My great grandmother made it, but I don't know when. She died in 1985, but it probably was made years and years before then. I don't crochet - unless you count the potholders I made in 4-H when I was 10! But I can appreciate the time and skill it took to make this.

ReplyDeleteReminds me of my mom. It's a treasure.
ReplyDeleteThis is totally gorgeous- what a wonderful piece of work that reminds you of your grandmother. My grandmother did not knit, crochet or embroider but she did cook and bake many yummy things.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your treasure.
Warmest regards,
Anna
That is wonderful - you are so fortunate to have something so special from your grandma.
ReplyDeleteOur grandmother did a lot of crochet too. That is the type thread I learned on. Not sure I could do it any more. It's beautiful on your table.
ReplyDeleteWow....I can imagine how long it took to make. A long time :) How special that your Grandmother made it ...a definate family heirloom.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words everyone. I am so happy to have acquired these heirlooms. Our family doesn't have a lot of them, so these few I have are so precious!
