Here’s the final installment of Bruce’s doily!
Do you get impatient when you get to the final row of a doily? I do! I’m excited to be nearing the finish line, but it takes so long to stitch that last row. I hope you enjoy this doily as much as I have.
I used Lizbeth Autumn Spice, Color 136 in size 20.
