Have you ever made a doily you were especially proud of? If so, why, and what did it look like?
I love making doilies! I have two favorites. One is the Kansas Summer (my name for it) doily I made to resemble a sunflower surrounded by hot white for Kansas summers, and edged in pastel blue for, of course, the blue sky. My other favorite is one straight out of a crochet book, with lots of Irish roses in it; the colors are the only deviation from the original pattern. I love, love, love BellaCrochet designs!

I love making doilies. A favorite I used to make is the pineapple. I love your designs and thank you for letting me enter your contest.
ReplyDeleteI love your designs. They are lovely. I love to make doilies. A favorite I used to make is the pineapple. Thank you for having this contest.
ReplyDeleteI made a Stargazer Lily doily. It was very intricate and the designer said mine turned out better than hers. I was so proud!
ReplyDeleteYour new floral doilies are just gorgeous! I just love to crochet with thread and your patterns are easy to read.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Maryann crochetbymsa
I love to crochet, and have a favorite doily that I made years ago, a big ruffled design that is on my round coffee table most of the year. I especially love to try new things, and right now I'm working on your pattern for the Flower Basket in a tea cup. I made the Easter Bonnet sachet and it is adorable! Thanks for your delightful patterns!
ReplyDeleteI love crocheting I made the Blue Bird and Humming Bird doily's from your pattern's and not only do I love them so does everyone that see's them. I made one for the D.A. at the court house and they loved it so much that they had it framed* I love your pattern's and I am thrilled about this contest*
ReplyDeleteI have not made a lot of doilies but love them all the same. I have the book "Leisure Art's 99 little Doilies. I made number 50 and 50 which are oblong in shape. I loved making them and my MIL loved receiving them. I collect patterns and would love to have some of yours so when I become more Proficient I will having something very beautiful to work on.
ReplyDeleteYour Springtime Floral Doily has been on my want-to-do list for some time. I can't seem to get past what green to use (bright, muted, variegated). I wish I were more decisive.
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of every doily I make. I'm in the process of crocheting the Lords Supper in filet, and I'm so in love with the process.
ReplyDeleteI especially love your doilies because I love your patterns. So prescise in detail. Thank you for that.

I've never actually made a doily and this would be a good opportunity to try something new in crochet!

ReplyDeleteI crocheted a doily years ago it was the pansies (yellow and purple alternating) border doily. I still have it too.

I have made many doilies but the one that I am most proud of is my very first which was quite small but had a ruffle all the way round it and made with size 40 thread. It was a gift for my mother who still uses it and it was made about 40 years ago!
ReplyDeleteI crocheted a beaded doily using 2 different colors of seed beads strung onto white crochet thread. Also, 2 colors of pearl cotton thread was used for accents. The doily turned out beautiful and got many compliments. It also won a Grand Champion ribbon at the fair.

I was very proud of my first floral doily.
ReplyDeleteA while back I made a filet doily that I called daffodil doily. It was made with small thread and measured almost 30 inches across. It is by far the most beautiful doily I have made and I'm very proud of the way it turned out.

My favorite would be one that I just went with the flow and made my own and then added beads!!! Yep, I sure did..LOL...anything I crochet with thread I feel very accomplished in...it just gives me that "feeling" different than a yarn project.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I really don't have a favorite..I like working with thread and creating doilies. I have worked many of yours..love the potholders by the way....thank you so much for the generous opportunity to win these patterns.
ReplyDeleteI have made so many favorites that it is hard to pick just one! Thank you for the chance to win. I love making doilies! :)
ReplyDeleteThe doily I am most proud of is the tiny one I made at about age 10 with my grandmother's hook and thread by copying one of her doilies. She had died before I was born, but discovering her lovely artistry ignited my passtion and set me on a lifelong pursuit to become a crocheter of equal talent.
ReplyDeleteI tried making one when I first learned to crochet and it was a disaster, I am left-handed and my Step-Mother taught me to crochet by mirroring her. I haven't tried since and that was 40 years ago. I do love them though and one day I will get one done.
ReplyDeleteHi there I have never made a doily yet as I have just thought myself to crochet using thred. Id love my first one to be one of yours please pick me geraldine from Ireland xx
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to have missed your contest, however, I would be honored if was I able to purchase your pattern set. I have made several dollies but the one I am most proud of is a butterfly only because I was challenged to do so. The result was more than I could have imaged
