At church this morning, one of the ladies decorated the
Palm Sunday brunch table with THIS adorable doily!
 |
| Doesn't this make you smile? |
 |
| SO CUTE! |
|
|
This was made over 60 years ago by Annie Besseck, the grandmother of my friend Jeannie.
 |
| Help! I'm looking for the pattern! |
I have searched the internet but can't find a resource
for this crochet pattern.
Can anyone help?
 |
| I need one of these! |
 |
| The chicks are stuffed with batt from an opening underneath the doily. |
 |
| Mother is stuffed plump, then she can rest an egg in her feathers. |
|
| The batt comes out easily and then washed and stored till next time. |
I knew you would love this just as much as I did. I've done a pretty decent internet search with no luck. If anyone has a clue where I can find this pattern, please let me know! But in the meantime, aren't they adorable?
Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI might take a leap and try to recreate it for next spring. Do you mind if I'll save a couple of your photos to my comp? -;)
I was hoping someone with crochet skills could re-create this. Let me know how it's going! Yes, you may use all the pictures for anything.
ReplyDeleteNo luck for me either, but I did find these:

(imagine serving a plate of your swan pastries on that!)
Thank you knitpicky! I went to both sites and loved perusing through. The swans are lovely and the pattern was free, how very nice. I need more time to craft.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who made something similar to this with daffodils, so I am finding out if she knows this pattern.
