Unfortunately antique or vintage needlecraft is not as well looked after and passed on as antique or vintage furniture or art.   Much wonderful old needlecraft is lost when the original craftsperson passes on.  This page is intended to attempt to give current day crocheters some images of crochet from the past. This page is definitely "in development"... Members are welcome to contribute scans of vintage crochet items.

Did you know . . . .

Crochet on fabric is considered embroidery not lace as is crochet.  I got this information from the Lace Guild of Australia.
