Just gorgeous and ingenious. I have a few of my Grandmother's embroidery and tatting, so would love to keep them and show her beautiful work off. This is a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! I love your quilts! Now have ideas of what to do with some of the doilies and embroidered pieces my mom made. Thank you! (Or, maybe I'll send them off to you.

WOW! You do beautiful work and I love all of your quilts. Reminds me of my grandmother-she used a lot of doilies in her quilts and had a lot on dressers in her home. Thank you for sharing such wonderful work.

You have done some beautiful work. I've been collecting vintage pieces and doilies - just hope mine (someday) turn out as well as yours did. Thanks for sharing.

I was one asking for your photos. They are fantastic.
At the Madison Quilt Expo earlier this month, a presenter told us about putting doilies on quilts. She showed us some sticky stuff to use for that. I went to her booth and bought some of it later. It is called Appli-Web Plus. Sheer Softness. But I don't understand what would happen to it if I used it for doilies or tatting. These have lots of "holes" and what happens in those holes with the web. The detailed directions inside say nothing about using it for doilies. Do you ever "Paste" yours down?
