Grandma’s Lines & more quilt show pics

These are some of my sweetie's Grandma's Linens.  They're pretty and soft.  Grandma crocheted around the edges of about 8 of them in different colors.  It's hard to imagine a time when paper napkins didn't adorn the table every night.  Pretty napkins would make the whole dinner with the family a little more special. There… Continue reading Grandma’s Lines & more quilt show pics
