100 Days of Doilies Day 82

I thought I was all done photographing doilies at Deb's house when lo and behold I spotted another one I made in the bathroom!!! Pineapple fan. I made a ton of these and I still have the pattern.

And now for something unexpected. Yes, it's a Pineapple Panolpy pattern but WOW the colors!!!
I already had a white one. I have a green one. I wanted a DIFFERENT one.

I had to look up how to dye fabric with food coloring. It involved lots of vinegar. I dipped the center first in yellow then while the middle was soaking in red/pink I added the green then finished with blue. The yellow got some green in it so I dropped some more yellow on it straight from the bottle while it was drying and it looks orange. I love it!

Pineapple Chair set.

This came from that garage sale in Colorado Springs that netted me several cool things for free.

I love everything about this. The color, the pattern, the thread weight.

I remember getting this pattern book from the Watseka Walmart. Had to be early to mid 1990s.

This is one of a pair I made for my mom for her bed. She sewed them onto pillow covers. She used them in Rossville IL, Dandridge and Gatlinburg TN and Chicago. You will see another one in a darker shade sometime down the line.

Another Pineapple Panolpy. This one is made from some Japanese thread size 40 I bought at Goodwill in Old Colorado City. Mine mine mine mine mine! I bought a bunch. Still have a bunch left. Must crochet faster.

This is the other green doily I made from the same ball as the day 10 doily. I love this pattern. I love this color. I love my doilies. It's a love affair to remember.

The pattern is called Pineapple Panoply from Elizabeth Hiddleson. Did I misspell her name before? Hmmmmm.

 I have made several of these. By several I mean probably 20 or so. Seriously.
