Photos from Greater Milwaukee Tatting Guild meeting

 At our May meeting we had a new tatter join us. Here I am (I'm wearing the "Craftsy" shirt) helping her learn the double stitch.
 The new tatter's very first double stitch! The girl is a natural!
 Here's her first tatted ring! An amazing accomplishment for someone who never tatted before.
 Some of our happy group. Next month there may be more, as a passerby became so interested in what we were doing, she signed up to be notified of our next meeting.

By the way, our group now has a leader's assistant, Ana (in the blue shirt). She'll take my place (helping new tatters and passing out "goodie bags") if I'm not able to make it to a guild meeting.
Beautiful work, not yet blocked, by Heather, a very prolific tatter.

    I have never done any tatting, but I've become very interested after following this blog for a while. I've even purchased some supplies and looking forward to when my current crochet projects are finished so I can try this beautiful needle craft. Thank you for sharing.

    @Cris R, I'm adding you to the email list for the Milwaukee guild. The meetings are always the 2nd Monday of the month. A reminder email is sent about a week before.

    @Lace-lovin' Librarian ~ Diane, yes I plan to come to Tollway Tatters.

    @Helen, tatting is a lot of fun! A little tricky at first but once the double stitch is learned the rest is much easier and the results are so rewarding.

    @God's Kid, yes it was a fun tatting day! The inspiration for the Milwaukee guild came from the fun times at Tollway Tatters :)

    @Margarets designer cards, thanks, it really is nice to see how people improve their skills when there is a group to encourage them.

    The group is growing! Word is out! Its exciting to see the progress being made! They must be totally mesmerized by your own tatting! I can't imagine at a young age being personally taught tatting by an author and craft video star! :-)
