This is a free-standing lace doily that I have stitched out using rayon thread.

Hugs, Lidia

You sure are the expert on doilies! I enjoy seeing this one. It looks a little different than some of your other ones. Maybe more dense? Do you do these all in one hooping? Or, stitch each part out then join them? By the way, that vase is very lovely too!

Thank you, Penny. I do these all in one hooping. I have used my software to repeat and combine one design six times in a circle, to fit my hoop. I never stitch each part out and join them, my software does the layout perfectly, in one go, and it's easier to stitch the whole doily this way. Maybe the design is more dense, I never worry about the density of this kind of free-standing lace as the result is always perfect.

This is just simply stunning Lidia!! Is this one of Sue Box's designs? I've just been looking on her site, but can't locate this one. I'm thinking like Penny, do you duplicate one design a few times and then combine? Love Chris

Thank you, Chris. Yes, it is. The design is called 12 - Old Lace, and, you are right, I have duplicated one design six times and combined them in one go, in my software.
Love and hugs, Lidia

Beautiful, as always. What size hoop are you using for all these gorgeous doilies?
1 comment
by lidiad 11 Feb 2019
Thank you, Jo. Usually, they fit my 200x200mm (8x8") but when they are slightly larger on one side, like this one , I stitch them out in my 260x200mm (10x8") hoop.
