Four lacy, crocheted doilies are stitched to a pink, wool-felt background. Slightly left of the lower middle, one doily is relatively small. It is white and has 3-D, so-called Irish crochet roses around the edge. To its left is a filet crochet piece with flowers and a bow, off-white colored and straight-edged, ending in a point. It was probably an armchair cover. Continuing counter-clockwise, the third doily emerges from the top left corner. Its center is solid, and stems radiate from the center, ending in scalloped edges. It is also off-white. The final doily, at right, has an eight-pointed star shape radiating from the center, increasing to 16 points around the edge. The last three doilies are trimmed to the rectangular shape of the pink felt. A narrow tan felt border covers the edges of the pink felt and the cut edges of three doilies. It is stitched to the pink felt with a blanket stitch. Numerous pink buttons, in various styles, are sewn around the border. Six lines of seven black, white, and black-and-white buttons are sewn across the pink felt center of the piece.
Yesterday was #NationalTextilesDay. Preoccupied with a cemetery association meeting and visitors, I missed it. But that’s okay, bc at my house every day is Textiles Day!❤️❤️❤️
