Magic Crochet Magazine August 1988 #55 Bedspread Curtains Collars Doilies

Letter from the editor:

Dear Reader,

Summer is a season when we all hope to catch up on personal time, when we can fit an hour or two of quiet leisure into our busy schedule, out of the day’s heat. What can be more restful than working peacefully on a beautiful doily or a lovely collar, while comfortably settled in your favorite chair—in or out of doors?

This issue of MAGIC CROCHET is chock full of ideas to spark off your imagination. And it will keep you faithful company throughout the sunny months. Mats in all hues and colors cover our pages like so many sweet-scented flowers. Use white or saffron yellow fabric and trim it with tasteful lace to make a tray mat. 0r, why not, venture out to bigger things, such as a lace-edged curtain or a tablecloth. Factor in an even more ambitious project with our “Land of Nod” bedspread, a veritable work of art that will have everybody’ oh-ing and ah-ing.

Hand-crocheted curtains on your window instantly give a cozy, olden-days atmosphere to any room. They take little time to complete and you’ll be amazed at the transformation, particularly if your decor scheme includes a few prominently placed cushions.

Our style-conscious fashion creations make one thing pretty obvious: nobody but you will show up at the party wearing this little blue dress or that cute cardigan. Choose one of our lacy collars to dress up any blouse or frock by adding a romantic note of nostalgia.

Have plenty of fun with your hook and thread!

Sincerely yours,
Paulette ROUSSET
