Tatting Sources
* Forwarded from "rec.crafts.textiles"
* Originally by Di Michelson
Hi. With the tatting interest on the board lately, I have finally
gotten organized my source list. It was mainly derived from my
days on the Prodigy tatting board. Special thanks to Mary McCarthy,
Suzann Welker, LeXuan Culbreath, Lou Santiestevan and others.
Additions and corrections are welcome. Just email them in. I'll
be keeping this list here, so email me if you missed it.
Most of the stuff in here is from early 1993, so the prices may be
outdated. And note that Cindy's Stitches is going out of business,
or so I hear (sob!). Some other newsletter-type publications may be
out of business as well.
One thing that's not in here and should be is the Ring of Tatters,
a large group of tatters based in England. There's a newsletter
twice a year, and they can accept US funds until Feb. 28th. I have
the info at home, so if you're interested, drop me email. I've
been a member for a year, and it's definitely worth it if you tat.
Just get in before Feb. 28th, since I'm told that international
money orders are expensive. (allow for mailing time, too...this means
do it soon!) I've also heard of a Canadian tatter's group, but have
little or no info on it. I can probably find it, though...
