Some doilies

I'm aware of the fact that doilies are not much in nowadays, but I love the doily designs so much. Perhaps instead of putting the doilies under an object we could frame them and hang them on the wall. Here is a doily a designed and worked some years ago and had forgotten. I found it in my house in South Italy and I redid it, because I lost the pattern. The original white one is in thread size 50, the new colored one is in Lizbeth 20. When i worked it, I realized that the long chains did not come out well, so I made a new stitch count for a better hold. Unfortunately I'm not a master in stiffening the doilies, perhaps a class in that would help me. The white heart center had been published years ago in a danish magazin. I would like to show it to you. The last one is AMANDA from my book "Tatted doilies" in a colored version:
