this is one of the first doilies I did after I learned to crochet. I mean seriously, can you tell how complicated it is? Add to that fact it was an ancient vintage pattern very poorly written. But I jumped in with both feet and all guns blazing. I never did finish it 100% because I couldn't figure the last bits out. It's falling apart now but I still love it.

100 Days of Doilies Day 90
Digging back in my personal stash for the last few doilies in this series.

100 Days of Doilies Day 87
Wedding Cake Lace in ecru and sage green. Simply gorgeous.
This pattern can be difficult. At first it's repetitive and boring and then it's so complicated and poorly written out I had to underline each little step as I went. I still did it wrong and had to fudge it on the last green round. The good news is it's so pretty I have several more planned and I know that they'll go faster.

100 Days of Doilies Day 81
Last one from Deb's magical doily drawer. This yellow is classic vintage crochet at its best! The pattern is quite intricate too.

Aren't these spectacular?!? Once again, I wouldn't want to make them but, wow, to own some would be nice.

100 Days of Doilies Day 61
I spent the weekend with my oldest son and his awesome family. I forgot I had given his wife some of my doilies. Yay! This is a very old pattern, one that I made waaaaaayyyyyyyyy back in the 80's. I still have the original page. I'll make another one soon.
