This a beadspread started by my Nana around 1945.
Most of it was finished when she gave it to me in 1960. I never learned to crochet but my good friend finished it for me.

Lots to like, but the thimble is too centered - it seems that is what you want me to focus on, when the title tells me bedspread. move it to the dark spot on the lower right would be an improvement.

Nice photo. It made me nostalgic for my grandmother. Had this been in black and white I would have scored it higher. Lovely though.

4 - In my opinion you 'lost points' with the elaboration, just the year would suffice and as I read the Challenge ('should be'). Criticism; I like what you have chosen to shoot here but would like to see more of the little 'book'(?) to add more 'feel' to this photo. Perhaps even b/w or sepia but yes I know the Coke thimble might get lost a little. With just the title, likely a 7 from me (as a photo of this put into said year time capsule, would depict the era for future generations, not to mention these subjects would likely would fit into a time capsule as they are). edit:typos

This reminds me of my great-grandmother and the crochet work that I remember her working when I was little. The thing that bothers me in the photo is the thimble. Out of place since I have not known anyone using a thimble when crocheting. Otherwise, excellent work with beautiful lighting and detail.
