Welcome to My Tatting Library!

Welcome to My Tatting Library!
With my ever consuming love for all things tatting it seems only fitting that my tatting library would grow on a constant basis. The only way to keep track of these well loved tatting books is to keep an alphabetized index of them.
"Better yet," I thought to myself, "Why don't I share it with the online tatting community and they can add any thoughts or opinions about the book as they see fit."
Each book will have it's own blog post. If you happen to have one of these books feel free to share your own thoughts, comments, or reviews in the comment section of the blog post for that book!

Special Thanks to:

for sending me a photo of a book to use!
The businesses who have given me permission to copy photos and link to their shops are in no way giving me any financial compensation for doing this. My compensation is the satisfaction of getting an alphabetized index of my personal tatting library organized and sharing it with the online tatting community! This is only an index of my tatting library, only the cover of the book is shown.


Oh, and one last thing...

Tatted Baby Gift Set

Tatted Baby Gift Set
by JoAnn Stearns

ISBN: 1-888837-02-0

Click on photo for source and shop.


Summary: Small booklet with tatting abbreviations and photocopies of typed pages of tatting patterns in modern style instructions. The cover is photocopied cardstock with 15 pages of photo copies stapled to the cardstock (cardstock is folded and stapled in the "spine"/fold). There are twelve patterns in all and there are only written patterns with no diagrams. The only pictures of the finished tatted pieces are on the cover. Cover is a piece of cardstock with an actual photo glued to it. I wouldn't recommend this for a beginner, if you have more experience with tatting patterns that have little visual aids this is the book for you.


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.

The Christening Set

Summary: This package arrives in a plastic bag with a tag on top that says "Silver Shuttle".
This is not a book, but loose papers folded together. The image you see is a piece of cardstock with an actual photograph of the finished tatted pieces. The pattern is an 8 page typed and photocopied pattern written in a combination of vintage style and modern international style. The next loose full piece of paper is full of some diagrams for the Christening gown pattern. It is not clear how many times you have to magnify the patterns in order to make them the right size for a real baby. The last loose full piece of paper is a hand drawn and hand written and then photo copied pattern for the bodice of the Christening gown. The last loose piece of paper is a half size piece of paper with a hand drawn and photo copied pattern for the sleeve. It looks like it is actual size, but it is unclear on the pattern if it is or not.
