| Not cleaned up, just what I snapped pics of walking through the main part of the house: Protecting a dresser in the entryway:  Dust cover for an unused printer:  Under a lamp in the living room:  Under (MY) lamp next to my comfy chair (yes, there is a small quilt under all that stuff! What's embarrassing is that this IS the cleaned off version!):  Catching coffee-pouring drips:  Protecting cupboard shelf from coffee stains (hmmm... that's above my eye level - looks like that needs some attention!!):  Keeping glass dishes from chipping or rattling:  Do YOU doily? Is there a different word in different places in the country/world? Tell all! _________________ Perfection is the enemy of progress

| dust muffles, we could call them dust muffles, you know, soft and warm and protect stuff! I love yours and your coffee cup one. Never thought of putting htem between glassware, could use them I think, give you a chance to try blocks them make into little items for household use - good thinking

| I've always thought of doiles as crocheted too......love the variety and I agree what a great way to try out new blocks.....place them between my china plates. Thanks for the idea! |

| I call the small one doilies and the bigger ones table pads.......I have to say if you are quilting to put padding between dishes you need a 12 step program :) .......coffee filters work great there!! | |
