It wasn't hard making the flowers or the edging but I did find attaching the flowers as they were made a bit tricky. The flowers & edging is pretty basic stuff & easy.

Absolutely, completely wonderful! I have always loved patterns like these and your doily is no acception! I just love it! No wonder it's your favorite!

[marymac]

Heather, that doily is truly amazing. You did beautiful work, your friend will love it

[crochetlady]

Heather, its a beautiful doily!! The only reason I am shying away is because of the numerous joins :)

Good work and I am sure your friend is very happy with her doily!!

Thank you everyone.

I too was a bit intimidated when I saw all the joining, but it was so beautiful and I was making it for a fellow crocheter that I knew all the work would be appriciated.

It was by no means an easy project for me, but like diamond said, the flowers are basic and so is the eding. The joining was the most challenging but once I got the hang of that it was easier. The pits, as always with several color projects, was weaving in all those ends! each flower had 2 - 6 at least and the daisy had two for each petal! :eek

All worth it in the end and it was fun trying something new.

Thank you again for all the wonderful compliments.

Wow Heather, I have been so tempted to try that doily. It's beautiful, I just don't know if I'd have the patience to do all those flowers. Congratulations, pat yourself on the back for me!

[faithpa76]

Gorgeous!! I think I have that pattern (or one very similar) in one of the vintage pattern books I have!

[truelove730]

The pattern I used was not Maggies, it was from a vintage crochet magazine. I am not sure which one but it is similar to Maggies from the look of it.

It's very much like Maggie's. In fact, they seem identical.

I have been looking at patterns with flower doilies in Annie's Attic. I have been a little nervious about trying some.
