This pattern was named after my maternal great-grandmother. She inspired me to learn how to crochet. As I remember her, she was always crocheting. I have several of her beautiful doilies as keepsakes. She was a very talented crocheter and as far as I know, always crocheted in thread, even in her twilight years when her eyesight surely must have been an issue. I hope that in me, her lagacy of crochet lives on. I hope to do her proud.

Is there any way the Julia's 6" flower and Katharine's Rose 12" can be posted not as a .jpg file. I love these patterns but they will not print correctly. Thanks in advance – Jenny N
I will try to replace all the jpeg patterns and just copy and paste them on the page. I thought this would be a better way to do it, but it is too small. Oh well – I tried! Thanks for letting me know.
Absolutely beautiful and inspiring
