French Vanilla in Shades of Pink
My latest doily completed is from PK's Coffee N' Cream Doilies, French Vanilla. Made using size 40 thread in three shades of pink. The doily is 8 inches in diameter at the widest points.
My quest to make all of the PK doilies during my lifetime is going along well. I've started another doily pattern already. I decided to make something from PK's earliest designs. Once that doily is completed I'll have a little discussion about the evolution of her work as her signature designs came later on, yet elements of her style can be seen in her early works.
I think I have only one pattern book left to acquire--and I should get motivated and purchase it since it is still in print. I've been lucky in acquiring her more rare, out of print titles rather reasonably on eBay. Hopefully, she is still designing more doilies for her adoring fans and we'll soon be treated to more awesome doilies to create!
