Doilies for my Grandchildren

[Dollygk]

Back when I began doing my crochet every night while I sat in front of the tv, I decided that as long as my eyesight and hands were continuing to work well that I would make crocheted pieces for each of my grand children for when they would marry and have their own homes.

 

Picture 1, I placed the work for each grand child in 100% cotton bags and added a picture of me presenting a piece to that child. I read that you should wrap each piece in acid free tissue to store them so I did that as well.

 

Picture 2, I machine embroidered "tags" to place on each bag.

 

Picture 3, some pieces in that bag.

 

Picture 4, a picture with my last grand child who is now 6.

 

Picture 5, I made sure that one set of a table runner plus four side tables is in each bag.

 

Picture 6, one doily in one of the bags.

 

Thanks for looking!!!
