Deb's Pictures & Patterns
I found the charming circa 1940s potholder (below - left) at an antique store in Robert Lee, Texas. Below (on the right) is the copy I made. I have included the pattern for your use and enjoyment!

 | Antique antimacassar |
 | Spiral doiley |
This gorgeous piece to the left is an antimacassar I found at a little junk store in Bronte, Texas. I am trying to work up the courage to attempt copying it...but, it looks very tough! Sure would love to find the pattern!!! Isn't it absolutely ELEGANT?
The doiley to the right was a fabulous find at a small antique store in Ballinger, Texas. I have examined this piece thoroughly and don't have a clue how it was made. It doesn't appear to have been "pieced" together, so I assume it must have been worked as a single piece in the three colors....but, HOW!?! Another one I'd love to have the pattern for!
