doily table runner
By spotogspindel | August 15, 2010
Inspired by all the romance and girly beauty in yesterday´s post, I made a little something myself. The only limitations are fantasy and the amount of doilies to play around with.
After gathering bits and pieces of crochet and knitted doilies, from charity-shops and in my own findings, I decided to make a table-runner. (That in time might develop into a curtain.)
Trying to piece it together, and pinning it down.
It will probably look better to hand-stitch it together, but I used my machine. The two layers were a bit lumpy, so again, the hand-stitching is probably better…
I still want to add a couple of small doilies in a couple of spots, but have to wait until I find them at a charity shop. Or get tired of waiting, and crochet a couple of them myself.

Ok. Here´s a test for you:
What do you think this will become?
Please leave a comment with your suggestion! You´re gonna need a pretty good eye to make sense of this one

The first thing that came to mind was “Skrik” (“Scream”) by Edvard Munch. But I don’ think you make art that looks that much like someone else’s art? Then when I kept looking: I think I see a foot with an orange shoe on coming up from the lower left corner, and maybe a kind of face along the right side? I’m probably way off track, but I thought I’d give it a try, LOL!

I just love the runner created with different doilies! Elegant, artsy and unique, just wonderful!

Your lace doily confection rocks! I would never have thought of putting random doilies together, but guess what? They look like they were made for each other and I love the diagonal.
