It took me 9 1/2 years. My husband was diagnosed with cancer during that time, so I did a lot of crocheting in the hospital during his treatments and doctor waiting rooms. Then after he passed away I had a hard time working on it for about 4 years. Then one year I promised myself I would finish it for the Thanksgiving dinner table. I finished it just a few days before Thanksgiving, took it to my daughter's house and put it on the dining room table without telling her. I wondered how long it would take her to find it. The next day she called me from Joann Fabric asking what kind of plastic she should get to cover it up. I don't think it has beenoff the table since then. The 2 grandsons say they will interview possible brides dependent on how they feel about the lace tablecloth, as it will be in the family for generations.
