Wonderful flower designs from the past!,
By
This review is from: Floral Crochet (Paperback)
Floral Crochet is a Dover Publications reprint of floral thread designs from the 1940's and 1950's. The introductions states that this book is a compilation of some of the best floral patterns from this period. All of the designs are thread. Designs include bedspreads, table cloths, doilies, edgings, vanity sets, placemats, and pillows. I would not recommend the book to someone new to crocheting with thread. It's a shame this book does not have color photographs it would be a feast for the eyes! The vanity sets were particularly interesting as I have not seen many patterns for them. There is also instructions for a doily done in a technique called Crocheted Tatting which is very unusual. There are some designs using a crocheted cutwork technique and several doilies with fabric centers. This is a wonderful book to make some special treasures for your home.

Old Fashioned Doilies,
By A Customer
This review is from: Floral Crochet (Paperback)
This is a nice collection of those old fashioned doilies which featured flowers. There are some filet pieces, some motifs, and some which merely feature flower designs - one color or in several colors.

Great book,
By frankiesmum - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Floral Crochet (Paperback)
One of the my first books, bought purely for the lily of the valley pattern on the cover. Many of the flower motifs and parts of the edgings have been converted for use in decorating dresses, handkerchiefs and the like. And the stitch guide in the back has become one of my standard references.
