I finished the christening dress and the bonnet ! Isn't this the most gorgeous thing?
The pattern is from the American School of Needlework and designed by Delsie Rhoades. I was able to download this pattern years ago when someone posted it. I'm going to start working on the blanket to match. Hope you have a great weekend1
Absolutely beautiful. :-)

what a beautiful heirloom you have made. It is truly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhoa!! That is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteCharlotte, how beautiful. What a treasure. Great, great work!
ReplyDeleteGood grief! The amount of work that has gone into that beautiful outfit! I love it! I SO can't do thread, but I wish I could. I made one doily, about this time last year, and it drove me nuts. Maybe with more practice....
ReplyDeleteVisting from Meme's Corner. What a sweet and lovely christening gown and little hat. Precious. I am following you and put a link on my blog list so I can find my way back again.

oh my! That is such a sweet thing and what an accomplishment to have completed it. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteTruly beautiful, and I totally agree with heirloom. That hat is just adorable! Good work!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is just lovely! LV sent me over with her promises of crochet projects and I am delighted! Just found a box of American School of Needlework patterns from the '70s that I picked up at a church sale. Wow! I am in love with this.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday!
exquisite. Just breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteJust Gorgeous! Nice work.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful crochet :))
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking. Beautiful. It's a treasure!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to find this pattern for years now. I made this several times for family. My aunt asked if the roses could be red while leaving the dress white. I didn't have a teacher nor had I ever worked with that style of thread. But that small request stuck with me for lifw. It was while trying to fulfill her request that I fell in love with crochet and later taught myself to knit. It also showed me that I could do whatever I set my mind to and to never give up. IBe often thought of this little dress over the years, but wow to actually see it, even in a photo, has brought back a tidal wave of emotions.
