Irish crochet doily

[HappyOldCro]

Took me a week by the time all the tiny motifs were sewn together, and it was blocked and dried, but I was determined to complete it before Christmas. Looks better in person, It is really a brighter white and only 9 1/2" by 14". It's an Annie Potter Original Pattern from the book, Irish Crochet Placemats. I used a smaller hook and thinner thread than the pattern called for to reduce it's size to fit my glass coffe table. It is cotton thread in white with 4 branches of leaves in ecru. I took the pic on a plaid silk moire pillow I had made for my black love seat.

 

The book was still available in PDF format on Annie's Attic...http://www.anniesattic.com/detail.html?prod_id=6293

The way the motifs are arranged into an oval shape is very nice, and your work is lovely.

Stunning! It would certainly have taken me more than a week to make that intricate piece. Great job!

This is sooo nice - i tried to find the book on amazon, but didn't succeed. I love irish arrangements without too much netting.
