I found this great piece in local thrift shop.I don't know what it was. But I can't left this thing in the shop. It was heavy cotton weaving fabric with great embroidery. The red letters is the couching ( I think) and great delicate crocheting done from swing or tatting threads . But there was few big stains on.
I put a few doilies from my collection on the stains . I put this work in my living room and play with doilies until I was happy with result and 2 days don't changed nothing. I sew doilies with run stitch, I use all founded not finished crocheted pieces and don't cut anything. I love the result and you?

Very interesting, Ira. It looks like there's a word embroidered?
I like it very much, Ira! What a great way to use both the banner cloth and the doilies!
that is a wonderful way to cover those stains and make the piece reusable.. very nice.
Ira I just love looking at your work. Your idea of covering the stains with the doilies was brilliant and it worked beautifully. Thanks for sharing.
Ira, that's a grand idea !! You did a great job
Ira,
It is very clever of you to think to use the doilies in such a special way! I love how you used one of different sizes, shapes, colors. That added so much!
Hope you hands improve quickly!
Great idea..Thank you for this...I love doilies and have a few myself...Sorry to hear your hand is still bothering...
Ira - You are a true inspiration. Thanks for sharing your work
