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:
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.

Summary: This is a 32 page paperback booklet with over 20 Snowflake Motif ornaments along with 10 tatted designs for covering Christmas balls. There are also other miscellaneous edgings and motifs. The patterns are written in mostly modern style instructions with a black and white photograph of the finished tatted piece in the immediate vicinity of the written pattern. The cover comes with a green background as shown above or a brown background. It's a fun book to have if you can get it. It's no longer in print so I suggest using "google" or your favorite search engine to locate purchasing links.
