Dainty Lady in Sage

This was my sister's birthday present:

Love, love, love the flower basket!!!


I used Aunt Lydia's size 10 thread:
frosty green trimmed with black.

  The rest is stash busting gleans.

I used a size 7 (1.65mm) steel crochet hook.

The Sweet Southern Belle Doily pattern
is from the Annie's Attic book:
Vintage Floral Doilies
by Elizabeth Ann White

It is one of 7 designs with raised motif elements.

VERY COOL!!!

Pretty Pineapples

The first of many more doilies I hope to recreate

out of my fabulous new pattern book

that I got on my trip to Texas.

The book is called Absolutely Gorgeous Doilies.

It is a Leisure Arts product.

I love these patterns!!!

The doilies have raised layers

which give them so much

intricate depth.

BEAUTIFUL!!!



The designs are by the fabulous
Patricia Kristoffersen

I used a size 7 (1.65mm) hook
and size 10 crochet thread.
