Quite a few months back someone in my neighborhood was going through recently passed moms things and clearing out a lot of crochet related items. She had thread, hooks, notions, just about everything a crocheter would need. Not only that, she had an INSANE collection of very old/vintage magazines and pattern books. I collect them and JUMPED at the chance. My collection is now incredible thanks to her daughter’s generosity.

However, when having a little chat and learning a bit about her mother and all the things she’s made, she told me about a tablecloth she was unable to finish. Rather upset over it never getting finished and not knowing what to do with it, but not wanting to get rid of it. I offered my skills. As a thank you for the books/magazines I told her I would finish the tablecloth her mother started and was unable to finish.

I brought the beautiful work home and after some inspection I found that she did in fact finish the tablecloth! All that was needed were ends to be weaved.

So will some back breaking effort and sitting on the floor for some hours, I got all the ends wove.

I am seriously in awe over this magnificent woman’s work. The Pineapple stitch is one of my personal favorites, and seeing it used for something this large scale was amazing. Her stitches are perfection, and I can tell how much care went into this piece of art.

This tablecloth seriously is an absolutely incredible work of art.

It was an honor and a privilege to finish this for not only the daughter, but also for her mother.

Take care of those around you, and if you have the skills to help, never shy away from doing something meaningful ❤️
