Handmade Tablecloth

This woman in Garganta la Olla, showed me a tablecloth she had made. It is made of square linen pieces stitched together with crocheted borders. It is so beautiful!

The second photo is a close up of the crochet stitches. The crochet stitches are open and make little square boxes.

Handwork by the Light of Day

This is a photo of some women in Garganta la Olla, Caceres, Spain. They sit outside their homes and do hand work by the light of day. Many times there are large groups of these women and sometimes they are all working on a piece of the same project. This woman is crocheting lace edging.
