A Note from the Contributor

Maria C. Vallejo: Crochet and Barrel Edges on a Linen Doily. There is never enough time in my life to sit down and meditate with a piece of textile art near me to admire and recognize the woman who found beauty, abundant beauty in humble materials and simple tools. As I look and admire the artistry on this precious piece of hand me down, I wonder if the lady who made it used some scraps from her sewing basket. The barrels joyned by crochet and held by hand stitches on a linen circle speak of her craft.
