#17 for 25 MOTIF CHALLENGE


I have had a lot of medical problems, and have not been very active, I did finish this doily that I started many moons ago.


Each rose has a 3d rose in the center, and is tatted with size 80 DMC Cordonnet threads.

I have made lots of bookmarks, that I give away to promote the wonderful art of tatting.

I am entering this doily in the Los Angeles County fair in Sept.The design is from an old book, an sorry I don't know the designer.

The doily is awesomely gorgeous! Best of luck in the fair (although I'm sure you don't need it).

Thank you ladies for the lovely comments. They are appreciated.
Yes, It took me a long time to make this, The photo does not do it justice, as the 3d rose doesn't show up well enough.
I thouroughly enjoyed tatting this

Hi Nita!

This gorgeous doily just HAS to win a ribbon. Beautifully done!
Keep us apprised of the outcome at the fair.

Thank you for the lovely comments,
the doily took 2nd place , they said it was framed crooked . What has that got to do with the tatting?? My other two I entered won blue ribbons, so that is ok.
