Hers has some pretty large holes though.<br />Anyway, do you (or anyone else) know where this pattern came from? I see a few other people said they also have the same one, and you did one the same as well. And does anyone want to share the pattern or directions for the floral squares with me? I am a fairly experienced crocheter, but figuring out the flower is probably beyond my abilities. (However, it doesn't seem that any of the flowers are damaged. But I'm not 100% sure.) My neighbor would be so appreciative of any help--her mother crocheted it for her when she was pregnant, 60 years ago! She would like to pass it on to her daughter some day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30700435.post-73178798537170076642009-11-03T05:00:25.233-07:002009-11-03T05:00:25.233-07:00please book mark my site and come back often look ...please book mark my site and come back often look forward to see you in the comments areawendy harbaughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06612487318509998428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30700435.post-79670413633796806902009-11-03T01:21:40.754-07:002009-11-03T01:21:40.754-07:00HI, im xie from malaysia...what a interesting blog...HI, im xie from malaysia...what a interesting blog...i also love to crochet and sew a thing..now, im asking ur permission to save all your thread as my reference..thank you for ur kindness...RODIAH HAMID@IBRAHIMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03998599355516277844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30700435.post-43712326430643655382009-09-28T15:28:39.743-06:002009-09-28T15:28:39.743-06:00Oh my, I was so amazed to see this afghan!

It is such a treasure for that reason, but also the amount of work it represents. I'm delighted to see that you were able to repair this one - now I'll have to take another good look at mine to see if there are any repairs required.

I have...I am so happy to have found your tutorial!! I have an lovely antique Irish Lace Tablecloth, from Ireland, that is a very similar rose pattern. I came to own this beautiful piece of art because the woman who inherited it from her grandmother thought it was too old-fashioned and was going to throw it out!! Can you imagine? Anyhow, it has a wee hole right near the edge that needs to be repaired (it looks like the thread pulled loose.) So, I have safety-pinned the loop to keep it from unraveling and am reading and re-reading your tutorial. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain how you do what you do. :-)Muraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17696515619367729913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30700435.post-23086987161198786122009-07-23T01:40:47.291-06:002009-07-23T01:40:47.291-06:00It's great that you can mend such beautiful it...It's great that you can mend such beautiful items.

I store them by size and color so when I need to match something I look there first. I like to use old thread with old afghans to keep them as close to original as possible. Some do not have labels any more so it is impossible to say with some.wendy harbaughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06612487318509998428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30700435.post-81755122273092477782009-07-22T15:52:36.575-06:002009-07-22T15:52:36.575-06:00MARAVILLOSA COLCHA ES PRECIOSA, TE FELICITO, OJALA...MARAVILLOSA COLCHA ES PRECIOSA, TE FELICITO, OJALA SE ME DIERA BIEN EL CROCHET PERO ME MANEJO MUY MAL UN ABRAZO ELENAElena Miryamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02532797528441959370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30700435.post-8855650391312904832009-07-22T14:36:27.254-06:002009-07-22T14:36:27.254-06:00you are amazing ... impossible to notice the diffe...you are amazing ... impossible to notice the difference ... what yarn do you used... ;)Orquídea Sánchez Azorínhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05338675300040782590noreply@blogger.com
