I don't have a camera so I just scanned the doily and used construction paper behind it to make it stand out a bit. Read more about my doily experience here (http://yarnjunkiesfix.blogspot.com/2005/05/my-mothers-day-gift-offerings.html). Thanks for looking!!

I can't believe this is your first doily! It looks like you've been making them for years! Excellent work! I hope you'll make more of them. Working with thread is fun and rewarding!

I used to love to do doilies, but it started to hurt my eyes.:rolleyes Now that I use reading glasses I may be able to start them again.

BEAUTIFUL.. you did a wonderful job for being your fist doily :)

[yarnjunkie]

Thank you everyone for the comments :hug It took me about 4 days working off and on. I tend to dive right into things feet first. Luckily I didn't get in over my head...it helped that the pattern was well written, too. Thanks again, I really appreciate it.
