They are a little ragged, but I particularly like 4, as the colors are quite vibrant. I totally agree that 6 is the same type of work as the large hand netted lace from my earlier post. It's a little rough, but mostly wrinkled. Funny, now that you mention ironing the patriotic piece, I distinctly remember "helping" Mom when she would iron a bunch of these pieces after cleaning them, in preparation for the Holiday season. She only used a few during the rest of the year, but when company was coming for festive family meals, it was Showtime! (I had to help polish the silver too!) She would have a table runner or centerpiece doily on every table, and nearly every accessory had it's own separate doily. Dad's and her chairs would have one over the back as well. Those were the Good Old Days...Mahalo for the info and the memories![/QUOTE]
