hey did u try Pattern central for patterns ..

I did try pattern central, and didn't see anything, unless I missed it. Thanks for the suggestion!

You could also use a long doiley or place mat and make it longer. Look at placemat sets that have a longer "placemat" for the center of the table.

Are you looking for something special? I could see what I have in my really old pattern books.

How about this link? There might be something here ;0)

Here is a link that might be useful: Crochet

I'm really not particular about the pattern, except that I don't consider my level of crochet skill "advanced", so I'm not sure I would be able to do something really complicated. I appreciate you taking the time to look at your patterns.

zipper,

I did find some interesting patterns on the link you gave. Thanks very much!!
