Oh, I can hardly wait until you tell/show us how much your mother loves these!! This is a treasure story!!

I still have some of those pillow cases my mom made. They are lovely and well used. I crochet with yarn, but so admire those who, like one of my sisters, can create the delicate thread crochet pieces.

You could purchase pre made cotton lace and hand stitch them to the edges if you are crochet challenged.

I have many pillowcases that my Mom hand embroidered and crocheted the edges. I use them with a quilt I made featuring appliqued flower baskets. I have many items my Mom embroiderd/crocheted. It's on my bucket list of quilts to incorporate them into a quilt.

it is not just the employees who go shopping, but the "mobile" patients. they go in and out of the rooms, taking what they find interesting.....

I embroidered a set of pillowcases when I was in my teens and my grandmother finished the edges by crochet. I don't crochet, so don't know how she did it, but it's been 40 years and they still look great. You are blessed to still have your mother.

Please do not leave them at the nursing home. I made a fleece throw for my late sister-in-law and it disappeared right away. My niece looked in every room and found it on someone else's bed. She took it home and washed it and then just kept it in her car for her mother to use when she was transported to the doctor.
