Step-by-Step Cozy Home

by Suzann Thompson | Aug 3, 2014 | Crochet, Cute Crochet World, Retro Blog Post, TextileFusion

I’ve always been a very home-oriented person. The day I started working from home, in 1993 I think, was a great day. December 19, 2013 was another wonderful day—we moved into our earthen home, much of it built by me with the help of friends and family. Would you...

Wow! This lovely collar* comes with a Certificate Wow! This lovely collar* comes with a Certificate of Authenticity by some supposed authority in the UK, certifying that it is real, authentic Irish crochet. Do you see the problem with this? It goes to show that some claims on Certificates of Authenticity are not true. And that not all people calling themselves experts are what they claim to be. It certainly is beautiful lace, just not Irish Crochet or any other kind of crochet. * It really is a collar, but I wanted you to be able to see the details of its construction. Should have taken a picture of the whole thing. Maybe next time. • #CrochetDetective #NotCrochet #KnowYourLaces

Fellow Snowflakes, let's vote and cause an avalanche for Democracy. More about this quilt at https://textilefusion.com/blog/ #TextileFusion #Vote #Snowflakes

Crocheting these vintage bedspread/tablecloth/doil Crocheting these vintage bedspread/tablecloth/doily motifs has been educational. I think they’re beautiful, but I’m -not- tempted to make a bedspread or tablecloth out of any one of them. The square at top right, designed in the 1940s or so by Cecilia Vanek, is from the Puritan Bedspread aka County Clare Bedspread. Free pattern here: https://freevintagecrochet.com/bedspread-patterns/star208/puritan-bedspread-pattern The other three are in 150 Favorite Crochet Designs, Ed. Mary Carolyn Waldrep (Dover), and online sources. #CrochetSquares #BedspreadSquares #VintageCrochet #Motif #Crochet
A year ago I was breathing a bunch of sighs of rel A year ago I was breathing a bunch of sighs of relief, because I had finished an intense crochet design project. I designed, crocheted, wrote patterns, and took step-by-step pictures of a bunch of flowery bookmarks. Most of the ones in the picture made it into a kit published by Quarto. More about this at my blog: https://textilefusion.com/last-year-at-this-time-flowery-crocheted-bookmarks/ or go to link in bio.
