Yep another feather and fern/cluster stitch doily. This one was for Emmy when she had my first ever grand-baby, Miss Jaelynn. It sits under a plant and it looks lovely there.

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.

One giant doily aka Table cloth come room divider. I got this at a thrift store right down the road from me here in Rantucky for $12. Yeah, those are my ribbons, brag brag.

I purchased this at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore for a whopping $.50. The center was once a table cloth or napkin.Love it. It has some wax on it but that's okay.

100 Days of Doilies Day 58
This doily isn't mine. Well, it wasn't mine, but it is now. It came with the mother load of thread I bought from a lady in Farmer City. No excuses now. Must crochet faster!

100 Days of Doilies Day 56 + WINNER!
This one I know I made. I got the pattern from a magazine at the Paxton Library back in the 90's. This doily lives on Darla's front room side table. Pardon the blurry picture. You know that doesn't happen very often with me!
The winner of the crochet motifs is.......... Marie! (However if I don't hear from Marie I will pick another name)

100 Days of Doilies Day 54
Let's not debate, let's just go with it, OK? Technically edgings, you could use these as doilies in the right setting. Once again I am asking you to think outside the box with me.

Unfinished Doily of unknown providence (ETA PROVENANCE ty Leslie). I know it's unfinished because the ending loop was loose and I almost unraveled it when I went to iron it a bit for its photo shoot. (See the thread sticking up on the top? Yeah that's the former loose loop) Yikes.

100 Days of Doilies Day 51
I made this honeycomb doily back on the farm in Cissna Park with the vintage thread I scored in Rankin. It usually lives on Deanna's dresser. Should I give it back? If you could see the state of said dresser you'd say no LOL!

100 Days of Doilies Day 49
This sweet little pansy doilies came from a garage sale at a house in Henning Il I used to spend a lot of time at when I was a kid. I bought it from a gal I hung out with in Jr High. She was blonde and gorgeous and I was skinny and buck toothed. I guess she liked me because I had the approximate same IQ as her LOL!

100 Days of Doilies Day 48
Have you ever done something crazy then years later ask yourself "What was I thinking!?!"?
Case in point...this doily. Why did I cut it in half? I'm sure I had a good reason at the time but right now I sure don't know what it was. I'll have to come up with some other brilliant scheme for it.
