Doily Magic Quilts

Well, there is a big discussion on the cplist (Crochet Partners)"Crochet Partners" about what to do with doilies. There are a lot of great, creative ideas. Someone sent a link to Sharon Rexroad's website. Sharon makes quilts with cut-up store bought doilies, and lace edging. There are links to sources of hand crocheted doilies which are generally priced from 50 cents to $1.50, a few are $3.50. Now, if I'm cutting up 6 or 8 doilies to sew onto a quilt, I imagine I'd only want to pay 50 cents or so for them. But if I'm the one crocheting the doilies, I sure would want to get more than 25 or 50 cents for each!

I love this quilt which was inspired by Sharon's books & website "Aruba Ocean doily quilt"

Home & Garden Television did a decorating show with Sharon Rexroad, here is a "how to" for a doily quilted wallhanging. "HGTV how to"
