Doilies with Netted Borders from Tatting and Netting

On page 134 of the book Tatting and Netting, there are two cloth doilies with a net border.  They are patterns number 31 and 32.  Here is what pattern number 31 looks like without the lacis or net embroidery.

Today I met many wonderful people at the Springfield Massachusetts Library Author's Fair.  Most of them had never seen netting before.
