Horse Head Filet Doily

Designed by Julie A. Bolduc

This filet pattern is the result of a request awhile back for a horse done in filet. The resulting size of this doily makes it nice to use as a panel for a pillow or even a sewn placemat. Or you can leave it as is to dress up any night stand or end table.
