White Diamonds # 7 original Doily

[Katchkan]

Well this is number 7 of the Birthstone series.

I have tried to create an elegant doily for this one. Diamonds make me think posh. I almost named it double diamonds, as if you look we have the Diamond soitaire shape for the 4 quarters and then the diamond shape inserted into that. But I liked White Diamonds better so that's what it is. It uses clusters and popcorn stitches to give it depth. I also used a strand of silver blending filament to give it sparkle. 'Though it doesn't show up much in the picture, it really does sparkle.

Done in size 20 thread with a size 10/ 1.3mm hook It measures 14 and 1/2 inches across. It is actually filet done in the rnd and the each quarter finished to give it the rounded shape. Hope you are enjoying this as much as me.

It has been fun creating these. Thanks for the challenge Elizabeth.

Kathy, your designs keeps getting better and better!! You've inspired me to try my hand at filet so I can then make one of these gorgeous designs myself one day. In about 10 years. It's going to take me that long to approach your skill. Patty

Lovely! Is it smaller than the Ruby dreams one?

Yes it is a smaller doily then the Ruby Dreams one.

 

Thanks everyone for the nice things you have to say. You make me feel just a little bit proud of what I am making. Thanks for the ego boost. Somedays you need it more than others.

I am really trying to produce a wide range of doilies for this book. It has been so much fun for me to play with the different styles and ideas that are rolling around in my head. My hook can't fly fast enough to keep up with the ideas that I have.

 

Stacey you will find blending filaments in the embroidery section. I look everywhere for different and exciting threads to use in my designs.
