When she died I got them, but after many years and moves they were disintegrating and had to be tossed out. Your post brought back great memories of pouring through the magazines and watching my grandma make crocheted lace trimmed pillowcases, doilies and some of the more questionable crafty stuff from the 70's. I remember a pretty awful red, white and blue granny square crocheted vest...which I actually wore (cringe)<BR/>SusanThreads of Inspirationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10068595934542214350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23443085.post-64963188855208071982009-02-06T09:25:00.000-08:002009-02-06T09:25:00.000-08:00I have a big box of these in my garage...treasures...I have a big box of these in my garage...treasures from Grandma.

The articles and instructions were all way over my head, but I do attribute my craftiness to being exposed to so inspiration at such an early age.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23443085.post-36040365986216518932009-02-05T14:14:00.000-08:002009-02-05T14:14:00.000-08:00My grandmother gave me a stack of them.
