I was taught how to tat and crochet by my paternal grandmother. She taught shuttle and needle and she taught a couple of my cousins and myself. We made a big table cloth. When I got married she passed away a few weeks before. We looked all over the house for the tablecloth to no avail. After my uncle died, we found it out in the garage. My cousins used it for a lace stencil to fit the hood of his car and spray painted it. Wanted to use the tablecloth for the bridal table. My cousins and I were sick to our stomachs. They were going to use it for their weddings.
