[Nfb-krafters-korner] Henrietta, Cloak?

[Henrietta Brewer]

Oh, Sorry Dixie, I used the actual counts for the dish cloth. It iwas a little cloak to hang on a hook on the colonial home. Kind of like a doll house. I used half. But you are right. A beautiful tree skirt. Donna says there are patterns online for increasing the size of this project.
