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.
Really stunning!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a gorgeous doily! I wonder if I have that tatting book! It's lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this vintage pattern. It's a beautiful design.
