The Art of the Table | Lily Design Book No. 76 Vintage Crochet Heritage Edition PDF
Vintage Crochet Doilies — The Art of the Table
Heirloom Table Linens — Edition 01
Vintage crochet doilies take many forms in Lily Design Book No. 76. This small vintage booklet moves from luncheon linens and filet crochet to hairpin lace, dimensional roses, place mats and openwork centerpieces. Rather than relying on one signature look, the book shows how makers chose different crochet techniques to suit the object, the table setting and the occasion.

Then and Now
These vintage crochet doilies do not require a completely vintage room. Instead, one centerpiece can become the focal point on a plain wood table. A filet piece can become a tray cloth or framed textile. Meanwhile, the colorful place mats can return as studies in mid-century color while the original construction stays intact.
Finally, this book belongs to the Dazespast Heritage Editions archive and the Vintage Table Linens collection.
