Amusement Doily Pattern copyright of "Creations by Celtess" 1970 -?- This is all that was on my printout. I don't know if you can find it on the internet still.
Thread is Summer Trail size 20 by Yarnplayer. I also used a bit of Omega Peach in size 30 to separate the rounds.
I have wanted to tat this pattern for years. Seriously - years. I love this thread. I will probably frame it and hang it on the wall.
I've had a few days of vacation visiting with friends. I'll tell you all about it in the next post.

It's really stunning. The peach is a nice offset.
ReplyDeleteI found the pattern at: godtland.com/tatting/Doily2.pdf
ReplyDeleteThat will be LOVELY framed!

Such a pretty doily. Summer Trail is a soothing colorway and if you did not mention the peach, I would have never noticed. I think I have that Omega peach but I am not sure if I have Summer Trail. Hope you have a fun time visiting friends, Gina. Enjoy your weekend and cake.

Wonderful! So many of you were able to find the pattern and provided the link! Thank you! I was too tired and it was too late last night.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the prettiest Amusement Doilies I have seen!
ReplyDeleteI think it is the peach interlude that makes such a difference in the finished piece, as well as the colour of the other thread, which is very appealing. You did a great job - it looks wonderful.
Have a fun holiday!

Looks wonderful in the Summer Trail colorway! I like that pattern too - I may have to tat another :)
ReplyDeleteLooks even better in real life I can tell you! Gina's tatting is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe doily is lovely. I remember this doily from long ago. It looks great in this color.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteStunning. Beautiful tatting - excellent color selections
ReplyDeleteI have seen a few different Amusement Doilies over the years, but this one is the prettiest of all. Lovely, lovely work!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful!! Ingrid
ReplyDeleteI'm jumping on the bandwagon with both "lovely doily!" and "gotta have the pattern". Thanks to all who hunted it down and shared. It never ceases to amaze me how certain configurations of rings and chains just stand head and shoulders above the others and qualify as timeless. This is an excellent example.
ReplyDeleteI also appreciate the link! Does anyone know who "Celtess" might be? The pattern goes back to 1970 and then was shared on the web.
ReplyDeleteThanks to your photo of your tatted piece (so pretty in those colors!) I was able to see more clearly what the last round really looks like.
This is on my 'to do' list (which, unfortunately, is too long)!
I also appreciate the link and love the doily. Your work is always inspiring to me!

ReplyDeleteSuch delicate beauty!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, Gina. I love the colors you've chosen...sort of delicate ice cream colors
ReplyDeletegorgeous! very interesting colourway chosen for the doily.
ReplyDeleteWow! Those colors look fantastic! That was the first doily I tatted, but I like your colors better! :)
ReplyDeleteThe use of the beautiful shades of the colors in that thread, along with the beautiful design of that doily, have definitely inspired me to give this one a try!
