A Note from the Contributor

Maria C. Vallejo: Crochet Edges -Narrow-. No matter how insignificant or straightforward things looked, I brought them home with me after I traveled to the urban city of Los Angeles. My job allowed free time between assignments. I spent that time in libraries until their hours were reduced for budgetary reasons. Then second-hand stores became the place to visit. Crochet and needle, and thread became easy to acquire. Enjoy the simplest and the most complex work of loving hands at home.

Condition

Fair; mixed conditions but some loose threads and discoloration
