FABBY: My Crochet Heirlooms

I always wanted to see all my crochet treasures together, specially the ones that were crocheted by my grandmother Stella whom I loved so much, she was a real treasure to me to start with, I was her first grandkid, however, she was close to me as I am also the only daughter, of  her only daughter, my mother... therefore, she saw a lot of me since I was a little girl.  My grandmother used to go to NY for long visits, two years at a time and for many occasions.  I met my hubby on one trip to Ecuador I made with her when I was 19, we got married 4 years after.  When I started my life here, in Ecuador,  we were so very close too, for a while she was my 2 daughters only grand, my  parents lived in NY until 1987 when they came and retired here.  My grandmother died in 1998 at the young age of 94, having  wonderful health all her life, God blessed her.  Love you grandma!

 This crochet, king size beadspread, was made by my grandmother for us, 30 years ago, along with the two pillows to match.

 Don't you just love it?  I displayed all my family heirlooms on my formal dinner table which is quite large.

 These doilies were also made by my grandmother Stella, along with the cream color runner.
 The cream color runner my grand made with such pretty rose design.

 The tablecloth my mother crocheted for me, I guess she inherited her mother's talent...I didn't, LOL!

 My mother also kneated a matching long runner for the buffet and another  for the large dinner table, along with a tray mat and a bread basket doily in the same pattern, it's a complete set!

 Mother crocheted the tobacco color large runner (bellow) for the dinner table and buffet.

 This runner is my very favorite, I just love mother's finest work on it, don't you?

 A better close up of the gorgeous runner mother made.

 My mother also made me for one of my "many" birthday's 8 doilies for the use on chargers, so the dinner plates don't scratch the fine chargers.   The other pic I shot of  12 doilies she also made for my chargers came out white, so I didn't replace it.

 This tablecloth was inherited by my Mil , it was made for her mother's hope chest, so who knows how old, or an antique it is!  Later, it was passed on to us after my mil died almost 3 years ago. 

 This stunning crochet tablecloth was my mil's, we also inherited upon her death.  My mil didn't crochet, she had it made around 40 years ago.

   Hope you like my treasures from my grandmother Stella, my mother, my hubby's grandmother and his mother.  I might add that my two daughters have mother's crochet tablecloths each, along with  doilys for their chargers.  Thank you all in advance for your very appreciated and lovely visits.  Hope you have a great start of a new weekend.
    I'll also be at some linky parties, where I always enjoy and have so much fun!  Thank you gracious hostesses for having me.             Lots of love,     FABBY
