 Item #B03645 (Book) -- $5.95Tatting with Anne Orr Originally developed as an easy way to reproduce knotted laces, tatting goes back at least as far as the 17th Century. Despite its seeming intricacy, tatting is actually a very simple form of needlework -- as this book by legendary needlework designer Anne Orr proves. With only a few stitches to master, even beginners can produce dozens of delicate-looking but extreme durable tatted articles. Comprised of rare patterns created during the first half of the 20th Century, this collection features more than 100 designs: over 50 edgings (shamrock, forget-me-not and other motifs), 40 medallions (triangular, circular, square and snowflake-like shapes), beautiful collars and yokes to embellish wearing apparel, lovely doilies, luncheon sets and baby items, including three exquisitely worked caps for infants. Most items are photographed against a black background so that every detail may be closely studied. In addition, each step and stitch is fully described, enabling even beginning tatters to quickly create beautiful domestic accessories for today and prized heirlooms for tomorrow. 32 pages softback. |
