A square crochet tablecloth. There is a checkerboard pattern which takes up the entire piece. In each corner, going about fifteen inches toward the center, on each square there is a green "X." The edges of the tablecloth are crocheted to imitate lace.

Runner, Table (2004.8.1)

Rectangular table runner with lace edging, longer lace triangle at each side of the length. The lace trim is edged in pink as well as the string holding the lace to the actual runner. On the lace edging, on both ends of the runner, the lace is decorated with a large butterfly. Next to the pink stitches holding the lace to the runner, there are very small cut-out holes running along the long end of the runner, about an inch and a half from the length side it turns in, slightly scalloped inward. Running next to those small cut outs is a dark red stitching. About ten inches from each corner the red stitching turns upward into a wavy pattern then straightens back out. Sitting on the inside of the red line are blue and green sunburst/floral stitches. Mirrored on each side of the runner is an image of pink, peach, and blue flowers in a basket. The basket itself is lined in blue, and the base of the basket has panels of green perpendicular lines. The top portion is done in red, also with perpendicular lines. The handle of the basket is simply two parallel curved blue lines. There is a fair amount of yellow staining on one of the corners of the runner, spotted stains.

Runner, Table (2004.8.4)

Off-white with multicolor stitching table run. The entire runner is edged with lace and has mirrored images on each side. The center of the runner, on the edge, is decorated with a pink saucer shape, which has a crisscross pattern all over. On the inner point, there is a red flower. There is a red line coming off of the curved part of the saucer and moving towards the end of the runner. There is also a pink line parallel to it moving in the same direction. The red line stops about eight inches from the end, where it runs into a blue string which creates three half-oval shapes. Within the top of the ovals, there is another saucer shaper: the two ends have blue saucers and the middle has a red one. Also, the blue saucers have white flowers with a pink center. The red has a purple flower with a pink center. Directly above the blue stitching is an image of a bird (pink with a redhead) sitting on an island (purple and pink outlining). There is a tree at the top of the island which is outlined in white and has a few yellow lines to show the bark. The branches are in multiple colors: purple, blue, green, white, yellow, and cream. Sitting next to the tree is a flower which is outlined in green and each peddle is stitched with a different color: pink, red, yellow, purple, and white.

Pillowcase (2004.8.14)

Small square pillowcase. It is created with two pieces of fabric, which are sown together at each corner. The bottom layer is a light mustard yellow and has no decorative design. The top layer is white and scalloped on the trim. More towards the middle there is cutwork done. In the very center the cutwork is done to resemble a flower: having fifteen petals. About an inch from the middle, there are four V-shaped cutouts encircling the flower. On each of the points of the "V" there are five small holes; coming from the top of them are two curved cutouts and from the bottom another two, are smaller curved shapes. At the very top, is a design that appears to be half of a flower, one with five petals. In between each of the corners, there is another half-flower design.

Pillowcase (2004.8.6)

Small white, handmade, pillowcase. The front side of the pillowcase has a floral cutwork design. The very center is a single flower that has a stem coming off of each side. The top and bottom stem is topped with a flower with a separate flower at their sides. On the side stems there is an array of multiple stems with leaves and a flower at the very top. Moving about half an inch from the middle pattern is another flower, in the middle of each of the four sides, and between each are multiple half-circle shaped, scattered in the middle. In the top corners of the pillow is yet another floral image, this being a flower on its own with three stems, all connected to a circle. The border is multiple cut-out circles. This decorative panel is the top flap to the pillowcase and there is an opening on the side to slide in the pillow. The back side is completely blank.

Doily (2004.8.19.A.1)

A crochet doily made to look like a lacy design. The center portion is a larger square with multiple smaller squares in it. There are a few smaller squares that have three vertical lines within them; these squares are diagonal to others with similar designs making a cross. There are sixteen crosses in this center square. Coming off of the four sides there are larger triangles created by multiple smaller triangular shapes. The corners are rounded and created by intersecting curved lines.
