Finished the jubilee tablecloth I was working on and gave it to my wife last night. It went on the table right away.


Congratulations, Mike! Do you have a picture of it somewhere that we can see?

Mike, Congratulations on finishing the tablecloth!! I'd like to see pics too!! What a lucky Wife you have :) Debby (FL)

Hi Mike,

I'm like the others, I'd love to see a picture of the tablecloth. That must have been a lot of work.

Nora

Woohoo~ Is there anywhere we can see pictures?

Higs, Katherine

Sorry guys! No digital camera. Scanner sotware not installed yet - have to visit my computer store and pick the software up and install it and take pictures and develop them and find someplace to post them -

And I'd rather be crocheting.

Okay... understandable... I don't have any of that stuff either. However, did you happen to find the pattern (and hopefully a picture with it) online somewhere? Or what about what pattern book you got the pattern from? That way we can look it up ourselves. ;o)

Gemini

Come on take a pic of it, and shove it on a blog, we are all wanting to see this and oooh and ahhhh over it, if you haven't sorted out anywhere to post a photo to, send the pic to me or anyone on here and we will list it for you..

If you get a photo of it, send it to one of us, or a copy of it and we'll put it up for you on a site of your own.

Thank you, Stella! That is beautiful. :o)

It is a beautiful tablecloth, made one for my mother a few years back. Needless to say she loves it very much, and shows it off all the time.

The pattern is from an old pattern book - Lily Design Book No. 207. The Jubilee is shown on the front cover and on page 31 . I worked it in No. 10 Bernat white crochet cotton with a 1.25 steel hook. And in my mind itt looks even better on the table than it does in the illustrations.

Sounds wonderful... and if it is the same pattern that Stella found a picture (and pattern) for on a website... that is really pretty! How long did it take you to make it?

Reeding all the comments, I tyink the tablecloth is quite impressive, and much more than I can make! Congratulation ! Aud ;-)

I can't remember when I started it - I usually have two projects on the go at a time - one in the front room where the television is and one in the computer room where I spend a great deal of time. The TV project probably gets about 10 to 15 hours a week and who knows about the computer room project.

On average it takes about an hour or less to do a single motif including join and working in ends. Since my first tablecloth when I left all the ends till last, I work the ends in as I go. It makes for a much more pleasent crocheter when the project is finished, Besides my wife does not think highly of the blue air when I get frustrated with a project. The Jubilee had

120 motifs in it, so I figure approximately 120 hours plus edging - about another 5 to 10 hours. It was simplier when I was using South Maid, because I knew it took about 10 hours to work 1 ball of cotton. I have never had the patience to figure the number of hours in a big ball of bernat.

Gosh, that is beautiful!!

I am not keen on crochet, but this inspires me!

Catherine

Cool, Mike! By the way... I can relate to the air turning blue out of frustration. LOL
