TattingChic's Library: Vida Sunderman

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 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...

Summary: This is a 32 page soft cover booklet with 40 patterns. If you like tatted snowflakes patterns this is a great book to get. The patterns are written in vintage style instructions, however, they are clearer than most vintage style instructions. Each pattern has a black and white photo of the finished tatted piece nearby for visual reference. The first 7-8 pages have some tatting "how-to" basics which are great for a refresher if you haven't tatted in a little while, but something more comprehensive is more effective for actual learning to tat. Tatted snowflakes are one of my favorite things to tat so this is one book I really enjoy having in my tatting library. Also, it is a rather inexpensive book and has 40 patterns in it so if you are looking for quantity in regards to patterns this is a good find! If you can't afford most of the tatting books with the economy this one might fit the tighter budget.

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.
