Jasmine doily

Ooo!

Thanks everybody for your kind remarks.

Lynn, the photo of the doily (which was probably worked in white) in the book is black & white and not attractive at all. In fact I only looked at it closely because I was hunting around for a leaf pattern. There are flowers in the original pattern but you couldn't really tell from photo. Yes, I did embellish with more flowers, inspired by my jasmine plant -it's in full bloom today BTW, the morning air is filled with its fragrance as I tap away on my laptop!

Your doily is worth a lot more than a picnic table. I don't have this book and don't remember seeing the pattern before. Are there some flowers in the original pattern, or did you add the flowers to the leaf pattern? Or did you embellish the perimeter with more flowers than the original called for? Whichever, it's magnificent.

What a fun piece. You did a wonderful job of colors and flower placement.

I wanted to beautify the plain old picnic table on my patio and tatted this doily based on the "limelight" doily pattern from The Tatter's Treasure Chest book. I added extra white flowers - inspired by the jasmine shrub growing next to the patio - see a sprig in the photo! The thread is some old remnant from my stash of Coats Mercer crochet No. 20 - very strong thread, didn't break at all even tho' pattern is all rings!
