A booklet of crochet and tatting instructions for lace trimmings on Catholic altar linens, issued by the Order of Saint Veronica (Our Sunday Visitor, Huntington, Indiana). It opens with a foreword and a letter explaining the society's mission, then covers cutting and folding altar linens, simple edges, stole collars, sick-call towels, tatted edgings, crocheted cinctures, and Irish crochet. Larger projects follow, including filet and mesh altar cloth laces (Cross and Heart, I.H.S., Diamond Frontal, Grape Design), pineapple and wheel laces, medallions, and a cut-work altar cloth. Written row-by-row directions accompany photographs of the finished pieces, and the booklet ends with a poem, 'Weaving for the Master'.
