Doily Table Runner

11/3/2014

Oh how I wish I had appreciated my Mother's beautiful crocheted handwork when she was still with us! She had made a tablecloth, Christmas ornaments and doilies for me. What has become of them through the years?

This table runner actually belongs to my niece, Bobbi. Some of the doilies may be my Mother's or my sister's, both are gone now and how we wish we knew who made the doilies. I do not crochet, unfortunately I do not have patience for this kind of work!

Bobbi has hand stitched the doilies together in a beautiful pattern. I love the bigger ones on the end and in the middle.

This picture was taken during the summer, look at that green! Bobbi has made me a table runner with doilies and it is beautiful, but this one is gorgeous on my farm table.

I love doilies! Making a table runner like this, has been on my project list for ages. Must get one with that, yours looks so lovely.
Thanks for linking up to the VIP party.

Love these doily table runners! I made a few to sell in my Etsy shop but I want to keep all of them. Mine are not family doilies though, just some I collected from thrift sales and garage sales.

Yes! They are getting hard to find, I've been looking also at sales.
