A Pleasant Surprise this morning

[Katchkan]

I received a quick note this morning telling me I needed to check out Annie's Attic Blog.

Take a peek.

What a nice write up they did. It still amazes me to see my self in print. I have so many bruises from where I have pinched myself to make sure It's not a dream.

Congratulations!

You deserve all the praise you receive! Your creations are fabulous!

[Empress Busy Bee]

That was very nice. You must be on cloud nine.

Don't forget to print it out and save it somewhere.

 

[Tampa Doll]

That is so cool Kathy. I have her same problem of which of your doilies to make.

[Auntie Kellie]

Congratulations on the wonderful review

 

Your work is always stunningly beautiful. I may not get to comment on each piece because of the kids but I love every piece you make.

 

Hugs and Cookies

I take back every bad thing I've ever said about Annie's Attic. If they're publishing YOU, they've come a long way, baby.

 

I love your patterns. Absolutely love them. Many congrats.

Doilies!

Ann White

If the Crochet Police came to my home and said “Ms. White, you have been accused of excessive crocheting. I am afraid we can only allow you to crochet one type of item in the future.” I wouldn’t have to think very long to decide what that item would be. I would make nothing but doilies from now on and be perfectly content.

</B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B />

</B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B />Doilies are kind of like cookies; they are small and quick to make (for the most part), and I never met one that I didn’t like. No matter what your taste or décor, there is a doily for you! Do you love traditional designs? Choose a pineapple, Irish crochet or filet doily, and you will have an elegant, intricate and lacy accent for your home. Do you prefer cottage styles? Create a colorful, whimsical little doily covered with pink roses or yellow buttercups to perfectly complement your décor. Even if you choose a more subdued rustic or southwestern style of decorating, a subtly textured doily in a sophisticated palette can add an unexpected touch of elegance to a room.

</B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B />My copy of “Old Fashioned Doilies” by Kathryn A. White (available from the Annie’s Attic catalog) has given me a real dilemma; I can’t decide which of these incredible beauties I want to make first! The stunning Pineapple & Rose pattern on the cover would be perfect on my nightstand; but then again, the colorful Irish roses on the Rose Garden doily would add a cheerful touch to my office desk. I'll just have to get busy and make both!

</B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B />

</B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B /></B />Thank goodness the Crochet Police don’t exist, so I won’t have to scale back on my crochet projects any time soon. But even without their watchful eye, doilies will always remain my favorite little crochet goodies!

 

Now how cool is that? :hook :hook

Kathy, you so deserve that. Your doilies are simply amazing and you are a very talented lady. Congratulations to you. I have one of your books that I am drooling over and waiting for my schedule to open up so I can crochet some of your gorgeous work. Thank you for sharing your love of thread with the world Kathy.

[Real Deal]

Wow! That design is stunning! Congratulations!

 

I've often wondered how Annie's Attic decides what patterns to print. Are the original designers asked?

I am the Original designer of these doilies. I submitted the designs to Annie's Attic and they chose to publish them.

[Katchkan]

I must take a moment and Thank all of you for your support. It was the encouragement I got here that made me get up the courage to submit these designs in the 1st place. Not sure it would have happend otherwise. Thank you one and all for your faith in me, It truly helped
