Just finished this. It came from an old book my sister in law owns (booklet) that was called Heirloom or something. Just thought you might enjoy seeing it. Picture taken at 11 p.m. and room isn't that light...used the flash attachment.

It is about 21 inches in diameter.

Beautiful!!!!

I just love this!

Beautiful! Very nice!

the darker color of that doiley is about a shade or two darker then the overall color of it all. If anyone wishes, I'll grab a picture tomorrow in the daytime. I just got in a hurry.

I used a number 6 steel hook that is old. I know it is because it has an embedded price on it of 10 cents. giggle

Beautiful...I used to do those many years ago...not sure I'd have the patience now...lol

Oh, so delicate!
It's gorgeous!

Love it...you do beautiful work!

Oh, good job. I have that pattern, wonder where it is? I enjoy crocheting in the evening when sitting in the living room with hubby.

I wish I could do some thing like that!
Beautiful!!!

That is beautiful. Looks like you put a lot of work into it!!!

Very pretty...One day I would love to learn to crochet ..

Beautiful!

You've just brought back memories of my beloved nanna. Like you she was very talented and did lots of different hand crafts as well as sewing on a Singer treadle to which my GF had added a motor. Thanks for the memories.

I love these I have them scattered around my house,my Grandmother and cousin used to make them and they are both gone now so I treasure them...I never learned how to make them!!! Yours is beautiful !

Very delicate & pretty.I also crocheted a lot, but now have way too many.

Its beautiful.

Love it! So neat that you made it yourself.

Oh my, what a talent! ANYONE, that can do this detailed, small crocheted work, I bow to.....Just gorgeous! My grandmother did these types of doilies, some were made to where you starched them and then put jars around the edges to create these "waves" for lack of a better description...Sadly, I don't know where they are now...

it's beautiful and Large!

Curious, how long did it take you? You must have incredible patience, as it looks like you have to really pay attention to every stitch. It's beautiful, thanks for letting us see.

Absolutely beautiful.

That is so pretty. Lacy and delicate. My dear grandma made those and I loved them.

Pretty!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup:

Lovely. Great take-along-project.

And I did enjoy seeing it. Thank you. It is gorgeous.

that is beautiful!!! Nice job!!

Oh my goodness, that's Beautiful, and here I was thinking I was hot stuff, I made my first granny square last night after watching a youtube tute. I have some large doily like that that my dad's great aunt gave us for wedding gifts! Maybe I'll attempt something like that after I get the granny down better

Beautiful. I have a SIL who does this kind of work. She's amazingly fast at it. I bet you are, too.

I always wanted to learn how to do that. Yours is beautiful.

Beautiful, I love crocheting doilies too:)

Beautiful...reminds me of my Mom :)

Love it!

thanks so much for all the kind replies. had meant to put it under chit chat as it isn't a quilting item. Today I took a picture and pu it on the knitting/crochet forum section of the message board.

It sure took lot of hours to get done and I'd share the pattern, but it came from an old brochure and must surely be copyright protected.

Glad you al liked it.
