This set of seven charming animal and insect insertions—a happy dog, busy bees, a butterfly, a mother duck and duckling swimming along, an owl, a pony, and a pair of playful cats—were designed by Ethel Herrick Stetson in 1912.

For Good Friday and the Easter season, this scalloped altar cloth edging has the acronym INRI, or “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews”, which was an inscription put on the cross.

Roses, butterflies and winding leaves decorate this summery filet crochet lace edging. Designed in 1927 by Olive F. Ashcroft, it can be used as a border for a tablecloth or a dresser scarf. Make the narrow leaf border as long as you need, or omit it for a faster project.
