I try to blog once a week..preferably on Mondays so life won't get in the way of it..I didn't make it this week. Then I thought I would just not do a blog this week, knowing me if I don't do it this week I won't do it next week either.
I finally got the flowered doily blocked..it is made with ecru and what I call maroon or burgundy..although I was told that burgundy is more purple..anyway the color is #816. It is one of my favorite patterns to work..do I say that about all the patterns?

| I finished hookin these three, but haven't blocked them yet..I don't consider them finished until they are blocked and starched... the white one is a pineapple runner (these sell really well at my show and I don't have any made) . I still have yellow on my hook and started another last night..the color is #745..a happy shade of yellow. Stichy Mcfloss is having a CAL (crochet along) and she has picked this one
It is called Cluster Stitch Doily. It is a free pattern and is public domain. Me the pattern hoarder that I am just happen to have it. I have found it in at least 2 of my books. The CROCHETER'S TREASURE CHEST and Old Time Crochet Magazine..dang...I put the magazine up and I was gonna tell you which issue it was..Stitchy has a link where to find the pattern on line for free if you want to join up... http://stichymcfloss.blogspot.com I am thinking a cream color might really look good...or a mocha..well I really need to get moving. It is almost 11 and I am still in my pj's. I have doilies to block and a house to pickup. ugh....well maybe the house can wait..blessings my friends and thanks for stopping by. |

Your doily looks so pretty !! The colourful flowers are just lovely. I especially liked the maroon border :) waiting to see your other doilies !!
Your work is spectacular as always..I know what you mean by one of those weeks.
Love the doily. I think I might join the CAL because I need to start something after a week off!
I think it is maroon and that is one of my favorite ones you do also.
Your doilies always make me salivate! Goodness that is a lovely doily.
Oh I love the 816 color. In the DMC floss world it's used a lot for Christmas. Love it.
I am so glad you are joining in on the CAL fun. I am still not sure what color I am gonna use, but I like your ideas.
Don't forget, another part of the story I am writing will appear on my blog this Saturday.
Blessings to you always dear friend. :)
Beautiful doily! The CAL was definitely a good choice. That particular pattern has been on my "want to do" list for some time...just now now.
