[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Doilies

[terrypowers59 at gmail.com]

Decrative wash cloths can be used as doilies, too!

My grand mother had one under the glass, covering her dresser.  I have no
idea where it came from.
We had a few others, like under lamps, in the house.
I wonder what happened to them!

Doilies are awesome, Not only are they a beautiful touch, they offer
practicality. A doily will keep your lamps from scratching your furniture. I
have many made by my great Aunt, sad face. I wish the art form would come
back. Have I made them, yes, but not with the thread they normally use Right
now, on my dining room table, I have one with eight peddle-like ends
highlighting the butterfly decorator vase. I have one I made out of four ply
on my white foot stool to keep it clean. Yet my feet are on that foot stool
every day. The four-ply doily saves the day. Oh, I have another doily under
a trivet my church gave me for an easter gift. Definitely the doily is
saving my furniture from being scraped. I have an air cleaner with a heavier
doily underneath. On my night-stand is another which covers the entire
length. You just never know what I will put on it as it is the last stop
before the Chair lift on my stairs.

Doilies are a lovely gift. They are practical like I mentioned.

Warm smile,
Becky

I have crochet books with patterns for doilies in them, which sound pretty,
but I've never made one.  They don't seem practical-more like things my
grandma had in her house, which was much neater than mine.  But is that
true?  Does anyone here make doilies?  Are they useful?
