Blocking of doilies caught up

With the long weekend (Monday was a holiday for me), I was able to get all the blocking done on doilies that had been finished in the last couple of months.

The 1st one is another "PK" doily from the book Simply Delightful Doilies (Leisure Arts) and is "Doily #4" in the book.  As usual the unique stitches make this doily a "winner".

Here's a close up to better show the stitches....


This doily is called "Double Pineapple Doily" and is from the book Sparkling White Doilies (Star Book #91 by The American Thread Company-1952)  It was made with a #30 thread.


Here's a close up view of the doily.....


The final doily is called "Anastasia" and it's from the book A Dozen Doilies by Leisure Arts.  It was made with a vintage thread I had purchased off ebay some time ago.  The thread looks to be a #5.



A close up view for stitch detail..... I blocked the outside round differently than the picture showed..I liked the way this looked...



The blocking basket is now empty.  I have another "PK" doily in white on the hook right now....
