Mum gave me the lot (says they will end up in my possession eventually, and she likes the fact that someone who fully appreciates them will have them). I am looking forward to making some beautiful cushion covers using the panels.
They all need some TLC (proper washing and blocking).Mum tells me after my great-grandmother had a stroke, she picked up her hook as soon as she could, and with her affected arm/hand rehabilitated herself via crochet. She kept going until she died aged 97.
Here's hoping I've inherited at least some of her good genes!

They are beautiful! It saddens me when i see such beautiful work for sale in op shops, i bought some recently for 99c each, such a crime to pay so little for something that took so much talent and time. I was glad to snatch some up and should have bought more, i feel sorry for the ones i left behind, maybe i'll go back for them one day.
