Hello my friends and welcome back to the craft room!! Today’s Flashback Friday takes us to 2001 and my Clover Doily. Don’t let the size of this doily fool you. If you can create the Blue Doily, you can definitely make this one as well. When using a thinner thread this doily can be even more delicate than it already is. Let’s dive right in!

Thank you for joining me on another trip down memory lane. Unfortunately, this was the last original tatting pattern that was shared online, however, it wasn’t the last of my original patterns. I have more designs that I am considering putting into book form. If you would be interested in purchasing a copy, please let me know in the comments and I will keep you informed on the progress.
Join me again next Friday as we Flashback into my crafting world. Have a wonderful weekend. Stay warm and healthy, and I’ll see you again soon!
