ALSO COMING SOON!

Look what I did!  Looking back, it was a dumb idea to work on 2 books at the same time, but I had all those patterns from IOLI and Finger Lakes and Palmetto just begging to go in books.  Anyway, here is the second one done, and I'm so tired. 

In this book, I took techniques from the 1860's and used them in my own new original patterns.  Thank you, Mlle. Riego, Mrs. Mee and the author of the Bath Tatting Book, whoever you were.  Here are some samples:

I will have both books for sale at Palmetto Tat Days later this week.  Once that event is over, I will start selling mail order through my "Books for Sale" page here on the blog.  Handy Hands will also have copies soon.

Coming Soon!

 Hi friends, I've been ignoring my blog again, because of course I have.  I've been busy though, really I have.  IOLI has come and gone and Palmetto Tat Days is coming up real soon now.  I am really looking forward to that.

Besides class prep, I've been working on a book, actually 2 books.  This one, Blocks & Buttons,  will be available very soon now, and I will definitely have copies at Palmetto.  All of the projects inside combine buttons and block tatting.  It includes patterns taught at IOLI plus more.  Here are some examples:

The other book, with new patterns using techniques introduced in the 1800's is still in progress, but coming along well.  Watch this space!
