I like to include a free pattern with the purchase of my larger patterns, I think of them as little bonuses, and usually they are not something that I would sell as a stand alone pattern. But, there have been a few that surprised me, and were actually more popular than the main pattern that they came with. Such was the case with "Gothic Lace." It was first published in 2009, but I still get

 I have written before about how the members of the Threadies Facebook group inspire me. But of  all the gorgeous items posted in the group, I would have to say that those created by Elizabeth Sabo are my favorite. She has created some of the most beautiful doilies I have ever seen and her use of color is amazing. A while back she modified one of my designs to create a bookmark. The

Several years ago I designed a set of doilies for Annie's Attic called 'Vintage Floral Doilies.' The publishing rights have reverted back to me, and I am now happy to make these patterns available to you for free. I am adding the doilies in the set to the blog one at a time, and hopefully I will have them all available for you soon.  These are my original patterns, so they are written

NOTE: The Candle Light and Holly Doily and Mini Doily pattern set was the very first Christmas design that I self-published, almost 10 years ago. At the time, I was asked to use a product called Liquid Beadz on the leaves. This product just added a beaded effect to the leaves, but I think they are just as lovely without it. If you cannot find it, don't worry, it is completely optional.There

One of the reasons I love the Facebook group Threadies so much is that it gives me the opportunity to meet and get to know other crocheters and designers better. Carol Thompson-Coolbeth was one of the first folks to join the group when it was started a couple of years ago. I loved her lovely, colorful doilies, and was impressed when I learned that she designed many of them herself. When I

Time really does fly when you are having fun; it has been two years now since I told my friend and fellow designer Cylinda Mathews, "I wish there was a Facebook group just for thread crochet. I think I will start one." And even though I didn't have a clue how to go about it, I did. As I say, time flies, and the group now has over 8,000 members! If you are not already a member, I hope you will

Marla Austin is an extremely talented crocheter who has overcome adversity to become a  respected and accomplished crochet artist.  Marla's beautiful work is highly sought after; she sells her gorgeous pieces both through her Etsy shop and through an annual local event. She also takes custom orders for larger items, such as this magnificent bedspread she is currently working on:

While I was working on my Pretty Pinwheel Doily last spring, I couldn't stop thinking how pretty the pinwheel would be made in red and white. I knew I just had to make a Christmas doily with a pinwheel in the middle! So here it is, the Peppermint Pinwheel Doily. I hope you will enjoy it!

Several years ago I designed the Trick or Treat Doily as the gift pattern that came with the purchase of my Stella Luna Doily. It was not the design I had originally planned to create, but my first  idea just didn't want to work out for me.  After almost a week of frustration, I finally gave up on it and started a new design. The second doily seemed to flow easily, and Trick or Treat

Last November,  I released my Littlest Angels as a free pattern, and it quickly became the most visited page on my blog. I thought it would be fun to do a variation on them for Halloween, so I have designed the Littlest Witches for you.  I had a lot of fun creating them, and  I hope you will enjoy them!
