So.... Are doylies most definitely and positively dead, gone and buried ?... I have a cupboard full of them and I'm not sure what to do with them....

    HI -- Frame some of the best ones . Then see if you can make pillow covers or a table cloth out of the rest .

    I've seen some table runners made up of all different shaped doilies.

    Definitely not dead. Doilys are beautiful.

    Go to Pinterest and search doilies. This site has loads of ideas. http://www.hearthandmade.co.uk/2011/10/weekend-diy-doily-crafts-tutorial-round.html

    Framing is a great option. I did that with one that belonged to my grandma and now it is a preserved memory.

    Great for keeping flies off food! ..but you can always sell them on eBay!

    Lace clothes are in. Sew them into creative wearables.
