Description

A gift from my Sister-in-law, she is an expert quilter and appreciates fine crochet work. Purchased at an antique store, it is an example of traditional Irish crochet most often made with very fine, size 40 or finer, crochet cotton. Another Irish tradition is to attach crochet to fabric, in this case a fine cotton mesh.
