Alice Morais lives on the edge of Prospect Heights in Milford, home to a large Portuguese population since the early 1900s. Like other Portuguese girls of her generation, she learned to make crocheted coverlets, runners, curtains, and doilies. Alice says this crocheted fish represents her heritage, "The Portuguese love fish."
