I've posted these before but I was appreciating them again in the early morning sunlight today.

Edit: they were my great great grandmas. My mother's mother's mother's mother, and my mother's father's mother's mother.
Wow, write that word enough times and it starts to look wrong. -

They’re old and beautiful. -
@dillyd That's so great you have them. My Grandmothers hands never stopped moving... Relaxing(?) down time on the farm for her was either crocheting or knitting things for the family. Gosh I miss her.

@dillyd Those are beautiful!
And such a great connection to your gggmas! -

@RussCheshire @dillyd When I found my grandma's lace bobbins (many years after her death) I had no clue what they were.

@dillyd They’re lovely! Do you know how to quilt? It’s on my bucket list to learn someday.

I do quilt, but I don't know how to crochet. I'd like to learn. -
@dillyd Gorgeous!

The basic building block of getting a loop through a loop (once or more) gives an infinite world of possibilities. The hardest part is spending enough time to get regularity. I like #crochet -

Wow, write that word enough times and it starts to look wrong.@dillyd there's a technical term for this but I can't remember it. (You get the same effect if you /say/ the same word too many times in a row.)

@dillyd both are beautiful. A lot of love went into those stitches. I've done both quilting & crochet to feel closer to ancestors
