Starching and Stretching
Sheila contacted me last week and asked if I would block her mother's last set of crocheted doilies. Susan's health is quickly failing, so I gladly accepted and spent about an hour with Susan learning her blocking tricks.
Susan has laminated circles for blocking the doilies, which I brought home with me. I began the process on Saturday.
Readers may remember that I purchased some of Susan's gorgeous doilies and posted about them here.
The blocking circles are a great idea. Do you know if she made them?
ReplyDeleteI have old dollies that were my grandmothers. Very cool photo.
ReplyDeleteLove the yellow pins…..and love your thoughtful and helpful nature
ReplyDeleteLaminated circles - what a smart trick! They must always comes out perfect when pinned on those.
ReplyDeleteI love the detail shot. You're a good person and friend, Nancy. I liked the different doilies in your link.
ReplyDeleteHow nice of you to do that!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet thing to do. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery nice of you!! Do you starch them the old way...make your own starch?? I remember my dear mother doing this.
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for healing and good health for Susan. Her handwork is gorgeous and your are a love to help preserve it.
