Question
QUESTION: I am looking for a book called "FILET Crochet CHARTS" by "Heirloom Creations" I tried the web site  on the back of one of their other books that I have but it is dated 1997 & the site is no longer available. I was disappointed for sure. Do you know where I might find any of their books?
Thank you so much!
Darlene

ANSWER: Sorry I have not answered your question.  I don't know why they are not being sent to me automatically.  Unless I check the allexperts website I don't know I have one.  I'll have to check into this.

I do have a copy of the book you're talking about and coincidentally I was using it and it's on my kitchen table right now.  I had bought it on ebay, but I'll give you the information on the inside back cover.
The book is called Filet Crochet Charts, Book No. 1, Vivian Floy Smith, 1997

QUESTION: Hi Patricia, I just wanted to let you know I found that book I was looking for by "Heirloom Creations"  in case anyone else might be looking for them also... Just let them know they can find them at  www.yesterdazes.com, they have lots of different ones. click on product list on the left, then its listed under "Name Doilies"  they'll find a lot of great patterns books not in circulation any more.  #610--Tapered Name Doilies Booklet is the 10th one down the page and is another book I could not find by Heirloom Crochet. Plus the other book I first asked about is also sold at this site :)
Thanks again
Darlene Kelly

Great, I'm glad you found it!  I have so many books and patterns but my Vivian Flay book is one of my most used.  Thanks for letting me and for sendng the name of that website.  I'll add it to my favorites list.  I'm always looking for something.

Expertise

Traditional Crochet and Filet Crochet (not clothes) I do more thread crochet than yarn.

Experience

I have been crocheting for over 50 years. As a child growing up in New Orleans, LA, I had aunts and older cousins who taught me, but now they are all gone and sadly, there is no one who crochets in my area. I hope to be able to meet fellow crocheters through this website, and I'd be delighted if I could help someone answer a question. I'm sure I'll be asking my share, also. I specifically enjoy doilies and afghans. I really like designing filet crochet. I don't make clothes, other than hats and scarves.

Education/Credentials
I learned as a child in the 50's from aunts and older cousins.
