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!

for their permission to copy photos of book covers and link to their shops!

Special Thanks to:
Joanne from 1-2-3 Stitch
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...
❄❅❆
None of these books are for sale or loan by me.

However, clicking on the photo of the book will very often take you to purchasing information from one of the shop owners.

Tatting Turns Over A New Leaf

Tatting Turns Over A New Leaf

Summary: Small booklet with tatting abbreviations and instructions for 14 individual leaf patterns and the floating chain technique. The cover is photocopied cardstock with 30 pages of photo copies stapled to the cardstock (cardstock is folded and stapled in the "spine"/fold). There are black and white photocopied images of the finished tatted leaf that correspond with each pattern. The patterns are written in modern tatting instructions.

I have tatted 3 of these leaf patterns. In fact, I have photos of them in a blog post in my regular blog "TattingChic". The blog post was called More Leaves Have Fallen. Those photos can give you an idea of what the leaves can look like tatted up.
