119790I especially like the one you have made with cotton. It has more depth and more of a vintage look which I think suits doiles.

It is a Fillet Crochet doily but really nice.
Would look great in the cotton thread or embroidery thread.

13586They are both beautiful, but I also prefer the thicker one, it has more depth to it and looks really strong. I hope you get them all made for the reunion. They will be a talking piece amongst the families. Love and blessings Chris

Thank you Chris,
I agree, the second one looks more like what my grandma
made years ago.
234253I bought this one from Stitch Delight...it is two pieces that form one large motif...finished it should be about 24" in diameter...Sweet! Looks like I bought at the right time...I paid $1.00! Now it is showing $16.00! Sweeter! Can't wait to make it.

Thank you
This one is very pretty and I did purchase it a while back, will try it for myself (one of these days)
313862I love them both but second just has the extra going for it.
86901yes second one is great but i like both as i am a doily person hugs
360402These are two of my favorite doily designs - I prefer the 1st I like the daintiness of it & it is larger - the 2nd is heavier, but stitches lovely.

211078I agree with Susan the second just looks denser they are sew pretty! I can imagine the fun you will all have! hugs loralye
299557Both are just beautiful Michelle. I like the 2nd one best. How big are they? Thanks, Susan

Thank you Susan
They are almost 6 inches in diameter, just the right size for under a candle holder.
25510They both turned out lovely! Isn't there a special name for the style of the first one? I just can't think of it now. Maybe "battenburg" or "bobbin lace?"

Thank you Penny
I don't know about a name, I think battenburg is somewhat
of a looser stitch though
678821044Wow these have turned out just perfect. well done.
huds Pam.
30988Forgot to ask, does anyone have any doily designs to suggest that are just a little larger, say 5 x 7.
thanks
