Beautiful! I have one that I made about 30 yrs. ago. that looks like this. I always loved pineapple tablecloths and finally made one. Mine is not white but ecru. I have't had it out for some time - guess I'll have to find it and bring it out too!

My mom could crochet like that and I always wanted to learn. All I can manage are simple afghans and a few sexy halter tops.(back in the 70's) I envy that you were able to do such a beautiful tablecloth . It is absolutely gorgeous.

This is one of those things that beautiful , lovely , fantastic, does not even begin to describe. Thank you for sharing these pictures. I do not crochet but this reminds me of the work my Granny, Mom , MotherInLaw and Cousin did. Just do not know why I didn't pick it up. Glad your old friend came out of hiding and now graces your table.

highlandermom by highlandermom 18 Feb 2013

I am ignoring the wind, the snow forecast etc. today and as much as possible. Winter is about gone and time flies. So dress up your house with that lace,green in your case green and blues and flowers. Then sing Sunshine always makes me happy. You are my sunshine etc.
