A New Project
Have you seen this photo on Pinterest

I am in LOVE with this tablecloth and have decided to make one for my kitchen table. I went to a local antique mall this afternoon and found about 40 old crocheted doilies. And I chose my best fitting, in best condition old linen sheet that works perfectly as a table cloth and now I get to start stitching doilies. What fun!!
I'll keep you posted on my progress!

How pretty!
Aww so pretty x
I have that photo pinned too! I can't wait to see how yours turns out.
I threw away hundreds of those doilies. No one wanted them!
beautiful. i like your new cross stitch designs and your new, bold necklaces as well (as always)!
Miss Flea (Felicia) has started one of these ~ she actually was buying doilies in the BC Ant. mall when we were there! How funny!
see you soon :)

That is beautiful! What a wonderful idea; great way to recycle!
The picture doesn't show for me...is there some way I could see it? I love doilies & going by your post & comments, I NEED to see what you're speaking of!
Thanks for any help.
