Summary: As mentioned in the title portion the copy I have is from "House of White Birches" which is not available anymore. You can purchase this from Iva Rose or find it on the Antique Pattern Library. I purchased mine in the 1990's when the internet was still in it's infancy so a book like this was quite a treasure. I still think that they are treasures despite that they are reproductions! The House of White Birches copy that I own does not provide any historical background of the original book like the year it was originally published. It looks to be the same style as the other Priscilla tatting books published in the early 1900's. Black and white images of beautiful intricate edgings and motifs, bags, doilies, and yokes. The patterns are written in vintage style instructions.


The book shown is part of an "Alphabetized Index of my Personal Tatting Library" and is not for sale by me. I receive no financial compensation from any book sellers for posting or linking to any shops. Feel free to leave your own comments or review about this book in the comments.
