One of our extensive collections here at #CKC is the #MariaVallejoCollection! There are hundreds of objects in the collection, including this Alphabet (sampler) in filet crochet, measuring 8.5 inches by 6.5 inches, with five letters missing. The missing letters are F, I, L, O, P, and Y.

Much like this amigurumi squirrel from our #CommunityCollections, here at #CKC we're trying to soak up the last sun of summer before transitioning into fall! You can check out images from Jennifer Olivarez's book The Big Acorn Race and more in our #DigitalCollection!
