Flower doilies

These are a couple books i have on different doilies i used to make. First one if 3d doilies, they are very time consuming but wow once they are done, they look incredible. Other book is ruffle doilies i made many yrs ago. Also Carolyn have you heard of magic crochet, i used to be member with them and ordered many of their mags.

Me too I just love those books they came out with a new upgrade of them about 5 years ago but put a price tag of over 15.00 a mag on them with a yearly subscription of 50.00 and I only got one HA!

HI Carolyn I have all my magic crochet mags still, all stuffed into my cupboard of books, and they are getting cob webs on them (kidding) i haven't crocheted since i got my computer and now with my new hobby Embroidery on Machines. But just looking at your work and others, oh i'm getting the itch to crochet again, lol. Be good project to start when going camping, or need a change in hobby for a few days. I have this one tiny mag. where i have made a few of, its a 3D elephant, oh it is so adorable and gorgeous when its done. I don't have any made now, given as gifts long time ago. As soon as i find that mag, i'll post to show. I think its one of my fav. crocheted project i've ever done. Oh i gotta mention before i forget, i taught myself to crochet, my first project was the last supper, its size is about 5 to 6 ft. long and about 3 to 4 ft wide. Its in my trunk of crafts, when i get the chance i'll get my dh to help me take a pic and i'll post.

The company that did Magic Crochet and Decorative Crochet no longer publish in the USA. It was a French company. I used to subscribe to both and have tons of them and love every one. They were the very best crochet books out there - ever. I also have the Ruffled Doilies book but haven't done one yet.

Yes these are time consuming but not hard at all... i haven't touched my crochet needles in a very long time.. it was with a cutie on here she does such beautiful work, wanted to show her these books i have on 3d flower doilies. Thanks for looking.. and yes these are great for sitting at doc's office and in front tv. :)

That is a beautiful doily with the variegated crochet thread. These are great little projects to take with you especially if you have to wait for doctors appointment or kids and road trips.
