Question
Bea:
I am writing to ask you if you will repair my grandmothers doily. It is white with sort of pansy flowers on the outside for edging. I love it. Two of the pansies have threads that have unraveled. I would very much like it to be fixed the best that it can as it is a family heirloom.
Kris
Dear Kris! If there is enough thread left on the pansies where it can be reworked, then it is possible to fix it. I will need to see a picture of the damaged places, before I can say if it can be repaired. Send the pics to firekeeper2@sbcglobal.net
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.
