I met this couple from Kansas at the laundry mat a couple of years ago when I was washing my quilts. She was a quilter and I new right away we were ment to have a friendship and invited them to my home. We talked and talked and went to quilts stores and became bestest buddies. They came to see us today and she brought me the most beautiful gift. Although not a quilt, I feel I had to share it with all of you. It is a crocheted doiley (sp) 36" round and looks beautiful on my kitchen table. I just love it. My mouth fell open when I saw it. Her quilt is the one on my avatar that I just quilted. Everything she does is fantastic and beautiful.

Please pm me as to what avatar is ?

WOW that is beautiful!
How nice for both of you to have this wonderful new friendship!!

What a beautiful crocheted piece. I can just imagine the hours of work that went into making it. What a wonderful gift for you.

Lovely and a new friend too!

A wonderful gift. She is a special friend.

Wow, it looks beautiful on your table.

What a nice gift.

Stunning! Superb gift. I lived in KS for 5 1/2 years, the generosity doesn't surprise me.

What a beautiful gift, makes me want to go do some crocheting. Started one like that years ago for a tablecloth, finally finished it for a doily.

Gorgeous!!!

The quilt and doily are beautiful

Wow that is stunning

It is beautiful....I love to crochet also....

Sounds like a wonderful friendship got started at the laundromat. It's a beautiful tabletop she crocheted.

Oh that is absolutely breathtaking! I have such admiration for people who can make such beautiful things. Wonderful that you have made such a kind and generous friend.

Lovely!

That quilt looks like "Lucky Stars" by Atkinson Designs. Type in "Lucky Stars" in the "Search" feature at the top of this page and you will find pictures of this fabulous quilt. The stars "float" so that you do not have to match up the points, etc.

Seeing that makes me regret more than ever that I can't crochet anymore due to arthritis. That is truly a work of art to be treasured. What a wonderful friend.

My mom used to make those. That is a treasure!

What beautiful work! And to think, a friendship all because two quilters were at a laundry mat . . . . LOVE IT!! :)

That is beautiful She should treasure it.

Diane avatar is a picture of you, your dog, a quilt,

it's beautiful. i believe it is called "peacock feathers". i once done one like that and someday i want to put it on a quilt. i've seen a quilt made of crocheted doilies and know it can be done, it's just beyond my level right now. but someday.

That's beautiful!

Wow. What a lovely gift. It's awesome.

Beautiful. It reminds me of my grandmothers talents. She quilted and crocheted. I mostly remember the large table cover she made for the bit round dinning room table. I would love to have it.

Such a beautiful gift. Isn't it wonderful to share these special talents with people who mean so much to us!

A pineapple yet. Not easy to crochet. What a wonderful gift.

Wow what a neat friendship. The dollie is so beautiful. My great aunts had them on every end table and dresser...brings back memories of old, beautiful homes.

Beautiful!
