A Celebrate Doilies Interview at March On! Texas

by Suzann Thompson | Jun 29, 2017 | Celebrate Doilies, Doily Adventure, Retro Blog Post, TextileFusion

Kelly offers a different spin on the Celebrate Doilies exhibition in this post at the March On! Texas blog.

Comanche Mercantile on the square in Comanche, TX, Comanche Mercantile on the square in Comanche, TX, has a charming and interesting variety of textiles in the way-back room. That’s where I saw this lavender pillowcase, appliquéd with the crocheted letters H E R, and trimmed with crochet. It sent me on a deep dive to learn more about His & Hers pillowcases. I’ve been trying for a long time to get back to blogging. Hand-embellished pillowcases were a reasonably quick and fun subject to write about. I hope you will read about them here: https://textilefusion.com/blog or https://textilefusion.com/his-hers-pillowcases-with-crochet/ • #HisAndHers #Pillowcase #Crochet #Embellishment #ComancheMercantile
Who here had a bed doll with a fancy crocheted dre Who here had a bed doll with a fancy crocheted dress? I never did, but that doesn’t stop me from admiring the skill and workmanship that goes into making one. The purple dress is from Annie’s Calendar Bed Doll Society, May 1993. Over the years, Annie Potter came up with dozens of amazing bed doll patterns, each as fabulous as the next. Miss Annie sells her crochet patterns at https://annie-potter-presents.storenvy.com/ These were for sale at the Benbrook Antique Mall in Benbrook, TX. It’s definitely worth stopping by there. Make sure you have ample time, because it’s a big place. • #CrochetBedDoll #BedDoll #AnniePotter #BenbrookAntiqueMall

Respect to anyone, living or deceased, who has cro Respect to anyone, living or deceased, who has crocheted a whole Killarney Bedspread! The frame of the bedspread square alone has taken me days to crochet. Luckily, my goal was to make only one square, to experience how it was accomplished. The pattern is from Irish Crochet Designs and Projects, edited by Mary Carolyn Waldrep, Dover Publications Needlework Series. • #KillarneyBedspread #IrishCrochet #DoverPublications #CrochetBedspreads #VintageCrochetPattern
In a blast from the past, an editor I knew from La In a blast from the past, an editor I knew from Lark Books emailed me last fall and asked if I would be interested in designing some crocheted flower bookmarks. Why yes, I would! The deadline was short for a spring publication date, so I got busy. The finished product was a kit with five colors of yarn, a crochet hook, a yarn needle and a book with written instructions for eleven flowers and fun finials and many step-by-step photos. Crochet Botanical Bookmarks the kit is available for purchase online and probably some craft stores. #CrochetBotanicalBookmarks #CrochetFlowers #CrochetBookmarks🧶
