Poise (small)


This is another doily made by my grandmother Esther Peterson Bott. I wanted to see what it looked like without the outer portion in colored thread.

Tranquility


This doily had the center, stitches, and edge chosen by one of my daughters. She knew how to net, but I chose to make it for her.

Shining Star


I have been trying to re-make doilies that I made before I got a digital camera. Before I had a digital camera, I used a photocopy machine to create a paper copy of what each doily looked like. Since it is hard to completely copy a circle onto a rectangle, especially when the circle is bigger than the rectangle, I did not get a circular view of the doilies.

Last July I finally took the ones I had recently completed and starched them, photographed them, and posted them to my website as replacements for the rectangles I had there as place holders. I forgot to post them here. So for the next few weeks, I will post one of them each week.
