My grandmother, the one who taught me to knit, crocheted this antimacassar or doily. I stitched it onto a plain velveteen pillow. It’s at my sister’s.
My father Roy J. Hendricks (b. 1912) is the boy standing on the left. Uncle Alan Ray Hendricks(b.1916) is the baby on my grandmother’s Mary Alta’s (born Feb 7, 1892)lap. My grandfather is standing, Floyd Merle Hendricks.
Your grandmother’s doily is beautiful! Her meticulous, detailed work is a precious family heirloom. I can see where you got your artistic talent.
That crochet piece is beautiful!
How special that you still have this in the family.
Beautiful !
Ruth, very nice—your grandmother’s crocheted antimacassar beautifully stitched onto velveteen, preserving the tender legacy of Roy, Alan, Mary Alta, and Floyd Merle for generations to cherish.
wow – that is a treasure
