Exquisite Thread Crochet Dainties: Butterfly Doily Extravaganza

Wednesday, August 24, 2011

Over the course of this blog about thread crochet projects, I have completed several doilies that have butterflies in them. These butterfly doilies seem to be popular pages, so I thought I would re-cap them into one post for those butterfly lovers out there.

Three of these doilies were created for my lovely mother, Leona, for various gift opportunities. A few of her favorite things are butterflies, hummingbirds, flowers, crochet, and red. So these crochet thread projects were perfect choices for her!

I will post the pictures in the order in which the gifts were given. For more information on the projects, feel free to check out the links to my prior blog posts.

The final doily with butterflies also has flowers. But this one was for ME!!! I thought it would be such a cheery feast for the eyes on dreary winter or rainy days. I love my flower garden, and I love my Thread Crochet! So this is the perfect doily for me.

If you haven't seen my other 2 posts about this project and would like to, here are the links:

Every doily except the small stand alone butterfly are the designs of Elizabeth Ann White.

Creativity is from God the Father of our Lord Jesus!

"Then the LORD said to Moses, 'See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of crafts---to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver, and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftmanship....Also I have given skill to all the craftsmen to make everything I have commanded you...'"
Exodus 31:1-6

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, Who does not change like shifting shadows."
James 1:17

Wonderful Quotes:

"Wouldn’t it make an astounding difference, not only in the quality of work we do, but also in our satisfaction, even our joy, if we recognized God’s gracious gift in every single task, from making a bed or bathing a baby to drawing a blueprint or selling a computer? If our children saw us doing “heartily as unto the Lord” all the work we do, they would learn true happiness." - Elisabeth Elliot

"I long to accomplish great and noble tasks, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of it's heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker." - Helen Keller
