Crochet Dreams

I don't remember where or when I got this,,probably an estate sale in Oregon...I have had it a long time,(it's 40") it was a mess, so I finally got around to pressing and repairing it, trying not to alter it too much. It is on a soft linen with pulled threads. I wonder about the woman who made it,, what Her Dreams were,,,do you think it was it a sampler for her own records,....hummm...

I like to think she would be Glad someone appreciated it.

It is laying on my Great Grandmothers Quilt that means so much to me.



I might have to make one of my own, I don't crochet, yet, but I won't let that stop me.



Have a Wonderful Weekend!

Sweet little bag of goodies

At an estate sale these were jammed in a plastic bag, with many other sewing odds and ends.

The bag was taped shut so I couldn't see, but I just knew to get it.

The booklet is an old "Work Basket", and it was folded so that I had no idea what the paper was, or what it held. It held the crosses. Also the instructions.

Little doily pieces, buttons, thimbles, crochet balls, embroidery thread, etc,,,,Heavenly!

If you want the instructions, you can email me or maybe enlarge this.

My Grandmother gave me my first bible, and she made a pink and white cross book mark for it...I  have it packed away, I will find it and add it later.
