Fiona Doily

Another beautiful doily designed by Grace Fearon called "Fiona" that I had the privilege of testing last year.  I just love the stitch detail in this one; it just "pops" out at you.  I used Artiste #10 thread in the color eggnog and a #4/2.00mm hook.  It measures 20 inches across.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Saturday!

Rose Delight

I've made the Rose Delight centerpiece several times and never tire of it.  I recently saw it made with additional flowers in the center which added to the length of  the piece and really liked it.  I've made a note of the change on my pattern and may just try it with my next one.  This one was made with #10 thread using a #7 hook and measures 22 inches x 26 inches.

Hope your week is going good!  See Ya!!

Vera Doily

Another lovely pattern designed by Grace Fearon called Vera.  I used Artiste #10 thread and a #4/2.00mm hook.  The thread color is called "porcelain".  It's 18 inches across.  I did deviate from the pattern some in that I skipped row 20 all together and on Row 21 I did a "sc" in each stitch rather than what the pattern called for.  I love the way it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by and God bless!

Oh my!

I can't believe it's been 2 1/2 months since I posted anything, then again, I can believe it.  I think I was better at regular postings when I was working full time.  I guess being retired I've just gotten LAZY!
Last year Grace Fearon published a collection of small doilies called the "Juno Collection" which I had the pleasure of testing.  They were fun and quick to work up.  I tried to use different colors for each one. They vary in size from 7 to 9 inches across.

Sorry I've been "missing in action".
Have a great day and God bless!

"Anna" doily

A doily "Anna" designed by Patricia Kristoffersen.  I used Artiste #10 in a color called "natural" and a #4/2.00mm hook.   The completed doily is 22 inches.  This is another one that I have made several times and donated out to various causes to be used in fund raising activities.

I've been unable to attend a crochet/knitting group at the local library for some time due to personal/family issues.  I've started back in the last couple weeks and so enjoy the time on Thursday afternoons visiting with the ladies as we do our needlework.

Have a blessed Thursday, and thank you so much for stopping by.  Hope you leave me a note.

I'm so far behind in posting finished items, so I'm trying to post more often until I get them all displayed.  Hope you don't get bored with me!  

A little sore this morning from the yard work yesterday, but I'm up and moving.  Not seeing the sun so much this morning; I believe it's going to be a cloudy day.  I need to be back out in the yard today, but most handle other things on the calendar.

Thanks for stopping by!
