My grandmother passed away last year, and I have a few of her doilies that she made. Doilies are all over the craft world, being sewn onto clothes and cut up and such...but I just haven't been able to bring myself to alter her beautiful handiwork. This is a perfect way to display the doilies! Thank you, thank you! Thank you for sharing this! My grandmother passed away last year, and I have a few of her doilies that she made.

Yep, I didn't secure the doily to the backing at all. The pressure against the glass holds them. But, it depends on the depth of your frame. Aww…my great-grandmother went by Nannie.

So, you didn't secure the doily to the backing at all? Just used the pressure of it against the glass? I enquired about professional framing once and he wanted to sew them to the backing first.
