...we also have a hand crocheted tablecloth to go on it...
...after it's last washing - it developed a hole - OH NO!...
...so I got out my tiniest crochet hook - Mamaw crocheted this tablecloth with some cotton thread of an unusual weight that was given to her by her sister - the Man's Great-Aunt Emma right after the Second World War - so I couldn't match the thread exactly - but I just used some Aunt Lydia's Crochet Thread size 10...
...and I got out my trusty jeweler's loupe - which is so very helpful in picking up these teensy little broken stitches...
...here's my finished patch job - I'll always be able to find it - Scout and the Man couldn't find it until I pointed it out...
