Marvellous Motifs

Marvellous Motifs by Sharon Briggs is a collection of 19 motifs that can be used alone or joined together for larger projects. There are several hearts, like the Twin Hearts which are perfect for wedding and anniversary cards, some square motifs that can be used for making mats or shawls or just simple bookmarks and some 6 sided motifs can be used as snowflakes or joined to make doilies. Some of the designs are based around roses and some around daisies. A number of them are ideal as decorations for gift boxes or bags. Two of the designs were created so that they could be used together to make a larger project, either something small like a pin cushion or a larger item like a doily. Most of these designs are quite dense rather than open and lacy so that they will work well in projects like shawls.

All of the designs are in visual format with accompanying written instructions and include indications of level of difficulty and techniques used.

Canada $20

Two of the large motifs also have accompanying creamer, sugar bowl, and cup patterns.


Skill level is intermediate and advanced. Patterns are presented in both written form and diagram, except for block tatting patterns, which are text only. The three dimensional tea set has several work-in-progress photos.

and use tatman at tat-man dot net for the transaction.

If you want to order this book using a different payment method other than paypal, EMAIL ME and state how many copies you want. All copies will be autographed especially for you.

I created this 25 page book out of a need that I saw from my beginner students. They were always requesting patterns that required only one shuttle work and how-to instructions that are clear and concise. So I have put together a collection of 17 patterns that use only one shuttle. It also includes detailed instructions with lots of close up pictures for every step. A must have book for the beginner or the well versed tatter that likes fresh new ideas.

The book has 25 pages of full color on 32 lb stock paper, comb bound, 8.5x11 size.

It costs $15 plus S&H of $2.55 First Class US postage, or $1.59 book rate(4-6 weeks). If you prefer a different shipping method or it is an international order, please contact me. Please allow at the most two weeks to fill your order and time for shipping.


One of the main features in the book is the half closed ring. By using the ring and half closed ring, many intricate designs can be made that are simple in structure. The half closed ring is used both as a decorative element or as a bridge between two rings, similar to a chain.
