  1. This turned out very pretty. I love to tat with either buttons, or these. I'm looking for your teapot that you tatted with buttons. Is it in one of your book?

  5. I now have your teapot with the buttons. Wish I could say I've made/tatted it already, but you know how that goes! It's definitely on my list....

    At one time you had a beautiful green butterfly pattern available for free. I don't see it here. Has it been included in one of your books?

    1. It's not in any of the books. This link to the old website may still work. I really do need a new website, sigh.

  8. I've tried to download your picot gauge several times since you posted it on Facebook, but I keep getting a message that your bandwidth has been exceeded.

    1. I think this happens when there is a lot of traffic on a site. I think wait a day and try again.

  9. I just love the spiraling effect of the paisley flower. Can I sell the finished product (not the pattern) in an online store, or privately to a friend? In both cases I will mention your name as the creator of the pattern. Thank you for your great design :)

    1. Yes, it is alright to sell items made from my patterns. If selling online, please give designer credit. Thanks for asking.

    1. There is a 3D tea set in block tatting in my book for sale, "Tea is for Tatting." I think I have seen a free cup and saucer pattern on one of the Facebook tatting groups, but I can't remember which one.

  11. Thank you Martha for the free pattern on Folded Rings Techniques and Patterns. I have been making them in pastel shades and attaching them to hairpins for my grandchildren. Thank you!

  12. Hi
    Is there a book with the skull pattern? Of all things, someone I know needs a tatted skull for a wedding dress. Don't ask....

    1. Please forgive me for taking so long to respond. There is a skeleton pattern in the book "Holidays on the Block," which is probably only about 2-3 inches tall. There is a larger skeleton on my defunct website, but there is a major error in the pattern, something left out with the second side of the pelvis. The pattern link is here: http://www.att.net/s/community.dll?ep=87&subpageid=302737&ck= but the picture may not appear. You can see a picture of it here: http://marthas-tatting-blog.blogspot.com/2006/10/motif-five-happy-halloween.html I also have a pattern for a small skull, again on the old website, pattern here: http://www.att.net/s/community.dll?ep=87&subpageid=326841&ck= and picture here: http://marthas-tatting-blog.blogspot.com/2008/10/motifs-seventeen-eighteen-halloween.html

      The skull section of my skeleton patterns is pretty small. Vickie Clarke has a skull pattern that looks bigger. Look on her free pattern page here: https://victats.blogspot.com/p/patterns.html

    I had some trouble with the Marjorie's Angel pattern. The head was asymmetrical, and there
    wasn't any directions and how to attach the head to the upper body. Any help would be appreciated!

    1. The base of the ring forming the head is deliberately off center, sort of at the jaw line. Do not cut the threads, and continue with Row 1. That row starts with a split ring, and then a series of 3 chains and rings, and those rings join to the head ring, making the connections of the head to upper body. Later on, on Row 3, the upper body joins to the skirt section. hope this helps.
