I'm afraid someone will spill something on it or it will end up with a cigarette burn. My family is not the most careful when it comes to my table runners. I guess they figure if I can do it once I can do it again.

27683It turned out beautiful, but it would be a shame if you do not use it...maybe scotch guard it and you won't fear anything spilling on it, good job.

72397I admire you for having made this superb doily. I haven't bought the design because I don't have the expertise and the patience to sew all the pieces together. Don't give it away as a gift. People who don't embroider don't realize and don't appreciate fully what has been involved in making this work of art. Enjoy it yourself and be proud of it every time you look at it! Hugs, Lidia

It is not difficult to sew together. My SIL sewed hers together with the sewing machine. I sewed mine together by hand. Then I sewed the lace to the fabric using my sewing machine. I used a zig-zag stitch to imitate a satin stitch.
78093Gorgeous. Scotch-guard it or frame it. To pretty not to have it out.

54617Such a pity that it is so dense and uses a lot of thread because it is so beautiful. This is one to pass down through generations. Beautiful.
29801Beautiful work. I have this saying "If you don't use it one day someone else will". So use it and enjoy it. Hugs Marg

37638It is really BEAUTIFUL!!! I have found that alot of our sewing projects cost quiet a bit and take alot of time. You have to really enjoy it to put time & money into something.

My SIL made one of these doilies that is 88 inches long! and either 4 or 6 placemats to match. My hat goes off to her! I'm happy just to have completed this 24 inch long one.
