A Note from the Contributor

Maria C. Vallejo: Crochet simply and humbly shows its roots.I couldn't iron it perfectly square like I thought it would [be] prettier. How wrong I was! I decided to respect either a child or a person learning the skill of evenly tensioned thread.

Condition

Good; some discoloration or staining on the center.
