vintage doily mini tutorial
[ATTACH=CONFIG]338833[/ATTACH]Here's a little tutorial explaining the process of my mini quilt:
I used water soluble glue, sparingly, to secure the doily to the linen. Then I sewed the doily around the edges with matching thread. I didn't secure in the center, but you certainly could if it needed it.

After that I spray basted the quilt sandwich and hand stitched the little mini.

I used some Liberty of London fabric for the binding. Very simple and easy.
This mini quilt is 12 X 12 inches.

That's a great idea. I have a couple of drawers full of doilies (I love making them!), and this would be a great way to display them. I have to 'rotate' my doilies, because I only have so many flat places to put them!

Thanks, I have some my Grandmother made and it would be nice to do one
for each of my children and grandchildren for a keepsake. My kids remember
their great-grandmother, grandkids didn't know her except by picture.
