Doily love

Doilies - those funny little crocheted things that everybody loves to hate. The dirty little secret that many have stashed away, not wanting to hurt an old auntie's feelings, but not knowing what to do with them. Fibre artist Judy Gascho-Jutzi knew exactly what to do!

Lots of stitching to add texture:
Do you recognize the doilies now?
Here is Judy's information on this piece, which was exhibited at the Waterloo QG show these past 2 days:
The Grand Guild of Fibre Artists is a group that explores fibre in many ways, shapes and form. They meet in Cambridge, Ont. on the 2nd Mon. of the month (except the next meeting which will be on Oct. 3). If interested please contact Karen Cummings at 519-621-3883. And bring your doilies...
