* doily applique

Posted on April 9th, 2011 by maitreya. Filed under Crafty Review.


Today’s Goodwill finds: some metal rings I intend to use for crochet frames and a 1970s craft book: Creative Crafts and Stitchery.  I pretty much knew I was going to get it as soon as I saw the cover:

My favorite project in it, and I mean that without any irony, is this doily flower applique.  I especially like the leaves.

I almost got a second book that had a pretty great blackwork owl pattern, but I ended up putting it back.

(Ha, just was searching for a good photo of the front cover since my copy is torn, and found out that doe-c-doe and playcait have both posted about this book and also liked the doily applique.  Hive mind.)

    Hahaha, I have that book – I got it from my mothers long forgotten craft book/magazine stash. I think the “Hotel Towels” are the funniest thing in that book! But it’s a nice book to flip through for ideas :)

  • Roasted Asparagus with Preserved Lemon & Anchovy Relish - Dishing Up the Dirt

  • This recipe with white beans is probably my favorite farro salad yet. The creamy beans play a huge role in that, along with the sweet tender leeks and fresh parsley. But it's the chunks of salty, citrusy preserved lemon, a condiment often used in Moroccan cooking, that really takes this salad to the next level.
