Your work I outstanding. I'm 70 and recovering from knee surgery! Your web site, tatted items, and HDT have kept me busy! You provide so much so much inspiration to us oldies! It makes us want to tat outside the box, too!
ReplyDeleteYes, my favorite memorable book in my collection is "Tatting - the contemporary art of knotting with a shuttle" by Rhoda L. Auld, published 1974. I started tatting baby bonnets an crosses in 1976. But had a hard time understanding our 70 yr old instructor but this book rescued me. But you have brought my tatting to a new level. I have some antique pink pearls and want to try using them with your Grand Aura pattern. Thank you so very much for moving tatting into the next century! Just love it! So would our tatting ancestors!
What a lovely way to start spring! I'd love to have the book and some of your beautiful thread!
ReplyDeleteYour colorways are magnificent, they would be the perfect way to celebrate spring with.

ReplyDeleteI know it doesn't feel like spring yet for most of the country, and most days it doesn't here either, but allergy season has started in Georgia and that always means spring is near!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring everyone!
