I'd love to know what kind of eyesight the ladies who crocheted those things from size 20 or 30 or 40 cotton on the smallest of hooks had. Same goes for the tatters. I've never been able to work that small, even long before I needed glasses. sigh
BTW, have I told you how much I enjoy these books? I have a copy of that Dutch girl days of the week design or one that looks very similar. So cute!
I'm so glad my links and my personal stash are being viewed/enjoyed by others. That's the main reason I started the blog.
I have a theory now on the quilt pattern Mother's Dream - if you look at it, it's perfect for using up all the bits and pieces left over from making baby dresses and children's clothes.
