Originally from the Heartland of Iowa, I was first introduced to Shuttle Tatted Lace by my very talented Step-Grandmother.Eight years later, I found an instructor who taught classes of Tatting while I was living in Nebraska at a Lutheran Missionary League meeting.
It was then that I invested in 8 weeks of valuable classes that developed my "Passion of Tatting".
I'm experienced in Shuttle Lace Tatting, since '87 and have instructed many to learn to Tat Lace since the early 90's.
I have taught ladies to Tat in church groups, community colleges, local fabric shops, but mostly in my own home from the Midwest to New England and Quebec, Canada. I've given instruction in the French language and English with International students from around the world!
Since Tatting, most of my Tatted Treasures that I've made has been given away as gifts to friends and family, along with Tatting someone hired me to make for them.
My collection has been, doilies of all sizes, wedding and baptismal hankies, collars & cuffs, edgings on cloth & clothing, tatted cross bookmarkers, flowers, snowflakes, motifs and medallions. I still dream the dream of making a table cloth and wedding shawl, only time can tell!
For over the past 10 years I have been developing my "Angelique Tatted Heirlooms", Tatting displayed with Stained Glass. Truly a treasure to behold! Tatting should be displayed with pride and not kept hidden away!
I will keep my dream alive by now offering Tatting Instruction Classes and Tatting Weekend Retreats exclusively at the Victorian Quarters Bed & Breakfast in Henderson, Kentucky.
Sign up today for classes making it a "Tatting Weekend Retreat" to remember, with ladies who love the idea that "happy hands make happy hearts"...creating beautiful lace heirlooms to treasure always.
