Julie got me all excited about doilies again and this is the result. It is an Elizabeth Hiddleson design taken from an old issue of Magic Crochet. It measures just under 22 inches across the diameter.

There are no more adjectives:think left to describe your doily. So I went to the thesaurus to find a new word for beautiful
I cut and pasted what it said
Synonyms attractive, beauteous, bonny [chiefly British], comely, cute, fair, gorgeous, handsome, knockout, lovely, pretty, ravishing, sightly, stunning, taking
Related Words alluring, appealing, charming, delightful, eye-catching, glamorous (also glamourous), prepossessing; elegant, exquisite, glorious, resplendent, splendid, statuesque, sublime, superb; flawless, perfect, radiant; dainty, delicate; personable, presentable

:cheer :clap :c9 :hook :manyheart :yay :hug
