Inspired by a photo I saw on Pinterest,

I took some doilies made by my Mom and
Grandma and sewed them together into a runner.

I am happy to finally display them…they had been in an old hope chest for many many years.

I simply spread them out on the table and when I was happy with the look I began to sew them together.

I may add more in the future by overlapping them …

If you have doilies hidden somewhere try bringing them out and making something new with them.

I have many more doilies that my Mother, Grandmothers and Great aunts have made for me over the years

and I will be back with more projects soon.

Thanks for coming by,

Margaret

Cute! I love your table runner – plus it’s so meaningful to use doilies from your family! I just made a table runner yesterday, but no doilies here 🙁
