I love them and I have a number of them I still use and I framed three of them and hung them in our guest bedroom. My step-grandmother crocheted a set for the arms and back of 2 easy chairs. The ones for the back have my dad and step-mom's initials on either side of a larger W for their last name Whiteman. The are still on the back of the two chairs I inherited from them when they passed and treasure them. I also have a bedspread crocheted in ecru. It's so beautiful and intricate. It must have taken months or longer to finish it. I used it for a while, but was afraid it might get ruined. It's folded away in sheets now. Thank you for the post. It's brought back so many wonderful memories of my step-grandmother Sharp and my paternal grandmother Mammy.Martha W.

It's "thread", my nana called it that! Great post! Working with crochet thread eludes me somehow, it's not as forgiving as yarn and I have trouble with tension. I may try again once I retire, though!!Connie R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12038621934457678475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-83724217658144558182020-07-26T12:04:01.752-04:002020-07-26T12:04:01.752-04:00I have many fond memories of seeing doilies on the...I have many fond memories of seeing doilies on the arms of chairs. As a young girl, I was taught to keep those doilies clean and in place. :-)Melissa Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05180284059716992887noreply@blogger.com
