Autumn tablecloth

Mom made this tablecloth from warm colored scraps, including a few of Ron's shirts.

lace tablecloth

Mom and I are in the process of making a lacy tablecloth. We are making 48 squares out of leftover, thrift-shop and scrap lace and white materials, and will piece them together next time I visit her. We put them on the floor so we could see it developing.
I took several close-up photos, and pieced those together to make this photo.

Teuchertstrasse, is now ul. Zygmunta Starego

Mom, click on the map to make it larger, and then click on it again to magnify once more.



The street's name was Teuchertstrasse, located in Gliwice, when Silesia was Germany before WW2. Now known as ul. Zygmunta Starego.
I highlighted it in green, bottom right. Click on the map for a larger view.
