Question
I HAVE A FRIEND THAT HAS ASKED ME IF I COULD MAKE HER SHAMS TO MATCH HER ANTIQUE SPREAD. CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO GO ABOUT IT. I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES OF THE PATTERN. IT IS DONE IN SQUARES. CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE I COULD TRY TO FIND THE PATTERN. THANK YOU
Hi,Betty! Is the spread crocheted? If so, You might try this website www.angelfire.com/folk/celtwich It has tons of vintage patterns and they are free. If the pattern is antique, rather than vintage, you might have some difficulty finding the pattern. If you would like, you may send me a picture of the spread, one full shot and one close up of the square pattern, I may have a copy of the pattern in my collection.
Best Wishes, Bea

Expertise
I consider myself an expert in the field of hand crochet. I have been crocheting for 45 years. I can answer most question on the differnt stitches, as well as the methods used to create speciality items. The art of crochet, after 2 decades of being out of fashion, is enjoying a modest come back. I want to help those newcomers looking for a little/lot of help to get started. Once they are comfortable with the process, they can relax & begin to create the heirlooms of tomorrow.
Experience
Experience in the art of crochet is
40 + years crocheting for myself, my family & occasionally doing commissioned work.
Education/Credentials
Bachelors degree in Social Science.
