Back to basics.
Doilies is where it all started.
This is what Mama (my Grandmother) made in the 50's and this is what she taught me (& my cousin.)
These doilies would be used on the arms and back of the sofa to protect from stains. They would be starched stiff & used on the table as decoration under flowerpot, vase etc. they would be made bigger and used as a table cloth.
They are still beautiful and can be made in many colors and used for lampshades, starched and molded into bowls and more.
Boy would Mama be surprised to see what Crochet is today.
