Beau-ti-ful !-' IF' I ever join the Secret Santas,someone put this on my list,this is all I want.-lol You must have an extra large hoop,how many inches is this? What kind of fabric is your white? It lays just beautifully.
Lol....Thank you, toogie!
I have embroidered this doily in my largest hoop that is 8x14" approx. (200x360mm), using drill cotton.

All your doilies are so beautiful and the way you arrange the designs on them. Please tell me how you get the edges so smooth, what kind of stabilizer you use, tear- or washaway? Mine always seems to be wavy and does not come out as smooth as yours. Thanks for the inspiration and sharing your projects.
Thank you for your comment, Lynette. I use washaway stabiliser and choose a dense outline digitised by a good digitizer like Martine. It helps if the outline is 5mm wide, as the one I have used for this doily. Also, I use rayon embroidery thread which is softer and shinier than polyester. Hugs, Lidia
Beautiful doily. I have some of those flowers out in the garden here at the moment. Shirley
Thank you, Shirley. Love the Nerines, they flower profusely when the plant is congested and a bit neglected... lol
Hugs, Lidia
Wowie! Doesn't that shape perfectly set her flower design?! I love it when this happens. This would be pretty for Valentine's Day too, 'cause I keep seeing that heart shape in there,
Thank you, Grace! I have three rectangular doily outlines made by Martine and this one is perfect for this begonia design.
Hugs, Lidia

Lidia, this looks absolutely fabulous, and as always your flowers are beautiful. Thank you for showing, it is a joy to see my designs being used.
Hugs,
Martine
Thank you, Martine. It's a joy watching my machine stitching out your designs as they are beautiful and so well digitized.
Hugs, Lidia
So great! I really want to do this one and do it well like you have! How many hoopings is this? love it!
The doily fits a 200x360 hoop, so if your hoop is large enough it can be done in one hooping.
Thank you for your comment. I made this doily in one hooping. Thank you, Martine.
Hugs, Lidia
Gorgeous job by you both. I love how you always have such lovely real flowers to go with your doilys.
Absolutely gorgeous - great teamwork from both of you. Love the wide satin boarder. That really makes a nice, and professional looking, finished edge.
Thank you, laffma. I agree with you, the wide satin outline makes a big difference.
Hugs, Lidia
