I feel that I've been making this pattern for a very long time. I made 4 for friends' children before deciding that I should make one for my children and nieces and nephews - 13 more.
Then, I decided it would be perfect for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, made in gold metallic thread. That turned out so well that I made one in silver metallic thread for my brother's and his wife's 25th wedding anniversary.
This is the white made for wedding presents, unblocked. This week end involved a 6 hour (one-way) drive to my brother's for his daughter's wedding. Another niece mentioned she has her doily on their table where they can enjoy it every day. Hearing things like that about an item I've made always gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling.
This was the 8th doily I've gifted to my parents' grandchildren, so I need to make 5 more. The youngest grandchild is 11, so there'll soon be a break in the rush to make these doilies. Except now there are 4 young, married couples who haven't yet started their families. I need to be making baby blankets!
