A blanket made by assembled "granny square" motifs, made by my grandmother Maria Antonia Ludovici Martinez (1905-1991). Source of design unknown, crocheted of unknown yarns that feel like an acrylic-wool blend. Some squares were added on later with a brighter green yarn.
Cotton toweling with bias tape sewn on to top and bottom, embroidered with design depicting a knitting and sewing basket on table next to lamp, one ball of yarn falling off of the table, the basket containing balls of yarn, spools of thread, knitting and sewing needles.
From Beverly Barton, "From an Anny Blatt pattern. I made this in the mid-80s for DD#1. Used French angora for the kitty and yarn balls, and Hayfield wool blend for the rest. Made by Beverly Barton ca 1985 or 1986 for eldest daughter (#1 child) in San Clemente, CA. Most of it is a Hayfield wool blend, with accents of Belangor 100% Angora."
