  1. What a wonderful collection! I love using doilies for crafting. Thanks so much for including my shower curtain project~

  2. Help! I have seen somewhere in a magazine , a blind made from different sized cloth doilies.
    It was obviously on a backing fabric but cant remember anything else about it. I have inherited loads of doilies and now would love to make a blind for my granddaughters bedroom. Have you any ideas? Would be so grateful if you could help. Not sure if it was a roman blind or just a ‘hanging’.
    Many thanks, Maggie Pothan.

    1. Hi Maggie,
