Last time I wrote (about a month ago), the sampler was on hold and the ogee afghan was the Project-in-Chief.  Oh, how the tables have turned... (Or something.)  Now it's the ogee afghan that's in time-out, and the sampler is back in the spotlight. But first, I have a couple of completed doilies to show! I mentioned in the last entry that I'd made yet another "Summer Splendor"-- my fifth : Pattern:   "Summer Splendor" by Denise Augostine Owens Thread:  (discontinued) America's Best Country Cotton Thread (size 10) in "Raspberry" (I used only part of one 350-yard ball.  Quite a bit left over.)
