melody	Posted - Apr 03 2012 : 11:16:11 AM The other day I stumbled across what appeared to be a vintage doily with beads on the outer edge-apparently to weigh the doily down so the wind wouldn't take it-then it was then placed over a water pitcher....you know to keep out bugs, etc. I guess for outdoor picnics, etc.? Anyway....does anyone have an idea where I could find these charming little treasures? I don't even know what they are called---- Talk to me ladies... Melody Farmgirl #525

melody	Posted - Apr 03 2012 : 12:33:29 PM Aren't they gorgeous!! I have to do this. There are a few vintage doilies around here that survived my last quilt I made-I used them as embellishments on a vintage hankie quilt I made for my sister. Thanks for the quick response it was making me nuts- Melody Farmgirl #525

FieldsofThyme	Posted - Apr 03 2012 : 12:15:40 PM You could simply sew beads onto doilies from thrift stores or antique stores. I make mine from hankies. See here: http://pioneerwomanatheart.blogspot.com/search?q=embroidered+drink+covers In my post there is a link to Martha Stewart's site on how to make this particular pattern.

ceejay48	Posted - Apr 03 2012 : 11:57:14 AM Well, Melody, I don't know what they are called but I plan to just take a doily and do some beading on it myself. The one we have over our water carafe here (our recent glamping trip) was one I found at a thrift for 25 cents and it had the trim in the center (ribbon, tiny silk flowers and beading) already on it. I hadn't had a chance to bead the edge, but I intend to do that. It would also fit over a pitcher.
