Love the hollyhocks, I saw them in person three years ago, when I was in Europe. These plants are impressive, so tall and colourful..... I had to stitch them out! I have used a design (twice, mirrored) from the Traditional Homes and Gardens collection by Sue Box. My outline.

really lovely!~hugs~

Thanks for your comment, Ursula. Sorry to disappoint you, but the fabric you see underneath isn't a runner but a tablecloth.

Very nice. Sue Box designs are lovely pity they don't seem to do any new ones. Just advertise the ones that have been available for ages.

This brought back a memory from when I was very young. There was a row of Hollyhocks along the path to the outhouse. I had not thought about that for years. LOL

Thanks for your comment. The blue cloth isn't a quilt, it is a printed tablecloth.

Sandra, the picture you have seen in Sue's email is the same one that I have uploaded here in Cute. I sent the picture to Sue Box's Manager before uploading it here. Thanks for your comment.

Looks beautifull, love the patchwork cloth too. Have hollyhocks in my garden too, if you have one plant you get a lot.

The patchwork cloth is a printed fabric I bought sometime ago, I sewed the four sides and it became a tablecloth :)
Thanks for your comment, Bärbel.

This is lovely. I planted hollyhock seeds last autumn and am eagerly awaiting the flowers!

Gosh, you've done it again. I only got the email from Sue today and there was your beautiful doily. I love the way you've place your cup with the red flowers to balance up with the red hollyhocks on the plate. AND I LOVE THE BLUE CLOTH!!!! It's beautiful. Love Chris

I love hollyhocks and the colour they provide. The design is gorgeous, great doily!

Thank you, Martine. I have stitched the design out on felt to get a table mat, that's why I have placed the finished project on a tablecloth, with a cup beside it, but when I placed the cup onto it, I realised that I liked it better as a doily than a table mat. So you are right to call it a doily :)
Hugs, Lidia

nicely done.I agree that the border is beautiful.
