I know that is why I just couldn't resist bidding. I am still fairly new to tatting but it is even more addicting than crochet. Too bad it has fallen out of fashion.
Those who appreciate are still out there-we're just busy starching & blocking what we already have!! Tatting does seem to be making a bit of a comeback finally. These 2 beauties are older than you think-I have original patterns for both of these and the book is from 1947. What's next on the comeback rail? Maybe hairpin lace.....
