A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion Hobbies, Crafts and Creativity Lace Medallion Table Topper With Photos

This is a 34 inch wide table topper I crocheted a few years ago. At that time I had a very large dining table I covered with a burgundy cloth and put this lace work in the middle. As you can see from this photo it almost completely covers my 36 inch kitchen table.

To show the ruffle off to it's best and to make it stand up, I'm supposed to put stiffener in it. But it's been in storage for a while & has no stiffener. But you get the idea. If the ruffle stood, it would be about 4 inches tall.

very pretty. love the center.

Great crochet job there. You have lots of patience.. I have that pattern, but no accomplishment..

That is very pretty Merme!!

I like it when I stiffen the ruffle then stand a crystal bowl in the center. Or an oversized brandy snifter.

I prefer to reproduce patterns written before 1920. This is a later piece but I forget the year.... mid-1940's, perhaps.

Did you ever crochet one of those bedspreads with that type of thread/

they are also gorgous.
some lady gave me her old old patterns and I love them even to look at.

b

No I haven't, Bali. I would like to do one for a double bed if I could find a worthwhile pattern. Some day, I'll research and find one.
