Really stunning!!!!!!!!!
That's such a gorgeous doily! I wonder if I have that tatting book! It's lovely! :)
Thank you for sharing this vintage pattern. It's a beautiful design.
Dover republished the pattern in _Traditional Tatting Patterns_, edited by Rita Weiss. It's called Party-Time Doilies in that book. I tried making it once, but my skill weren't up to it yet. I think the little 4-ring bits could more easily be done with split rings, but I haven't sat down and figured it out.
I just love tatting! It's such gorgeous stuff! I wish my elbow would let me do it.
