... More From "A Tatter's Workbook"

As I do more tatting, the better I get. I enjoyed doing this one. It went by fairly fast and not a hard pattern to follow while watching T.V. This shall be a pretty addition to a pair of dresses for a fall theme.

I am going to take a break from the book and focus on the tatting samples that I would like to submit to the Palmetto's Tatting Guild for their "Call for Teachers", to teach at their next Tat Days! Wish me luck! I need to stop dragging my feet and get busy!!!!

Good luck with Palmetto's!

Just popped over from MJF and I must say your work is absolutely beautiful. I have been exposed to crochet and embroidery, but never tatting. Interesting and beautiful.

...A New Book That Surged My Tatting Fingers On!

 I have few books for tatting instructions ...how to Celtic, how to needle, how to shuttle and numerous pages of patterns for tatting from online, doily this, edging that, motif those. I wanted something more or different to do. After Christmas I batted my puppy dog eyes (hubby says they are) at Hubby for a book that I wanted for Christmas but did not get. He faltered (I am so bad, I knew he would) and said for me to order it. I ordered it and it arrived sometime last week. I have been tatting my fingers off with glee! After all, this girl here received lots of threads and shuttles for Christmas... from that sweet Hubby! The book that I had to have was,    A TATTER'S WORKBOOK, edited by J&K.

I still am, to improve my abilities and develop "my style". My daughter has become an amazing tatter in jewelry with updated modern twist. She just amazes me to no end. As my confidence grew, my style is also growing. Maybe I should say preferences instead of style. I have learned that I do not "like" to create things without patterns. I am not "into" making things other than doilies and edgings but if needed to will do the other things. I also am not at all keen on tatting with the ball of thread, multiple shuttles, ends and sewing in ends... I like doing one shuttle, less stuff to fuss with.  Now with that said.. I prefer rings and chains. So I had to make a compromise with myself and use the ball or use the second shuttle as the ball. Then again, I am falling in love wi
