Hi everyone, My grandma, who was born in 1886, loved to make tatted and crocheted lace. Mostly it was tatted lace she liked to make and when I was little, I never saw her without her tatting shuttle. I remember all our pillow cases and sheets had tatted or crocheted edgings. I learned to make tatted lace when I was in my 20's but tatting books were scarce in the days before internet shoppping, and I was often to be found gazing hopefully up at the shelf of tatting books at the public library. Well, the bobbin lace books were on the same library shelf. All I had to do was rotate my head a little, and the rest is history. My mother used to complain about the tatted pillowcases when she opened her Christmas presents from Grandma. Oh no, she would say, not another one. Now she gets them from me! Life is tough all over.
