Celtic Tatted - Leaves and Flowers

Anyone who would like to pre-order the new Celtic Tatted Leaves and Flowers book and CD to be picked up at Hector tat days may do so by sending the payment of $11 to my paypal account, which is the same as my email address. There will be no cost for shipping as I will bring enough with me to fill these pre orders, and a few more.

The book will be available by mail sometime after I get home from Hector Tat Days at the cost of $11 plus shipping. I'm not sure how much the shipping cost will be just yet.

The patterns included in the book or on the CD that will come with the book are for a variety of leaves including the Celtic Maple Leaves, Daffodil Leaf, elm leaf, and a heart shaped leaf; and the Celtic Flowers including the Iris, Daffodil, Lily, and Poinsettia. On the CD are the PDF files for all of the patterns. PDF files allow you to zoom in on the photos and drawings to see them in greater detail, and preview pages, jump to the page you wish to view, and other neat things.

A lot of people have asked for these patterns.

Hugs,

Ruth Perry

New!! Tea is for Tatting

This is a book of teapots in various shapes, sizes, and techniques. Full size motifs include Maltese Ring, Antique Rose, Shamrock, Country Garden, and Celtic. There are also four miniature motifs that work up quickly, which are good for card enclosures and small accents. For something really different, there is a three dimensional tea set in block tatting, which includes teapot with lid, creamer, sugar bowl, cup, and saucer. 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.



This is a full size comb bound booklet (8 1/2 x 11 inches) with 36 pages plus covers.

Autographed on request.


The price is $20.00 USD plus shipping.

Holidays on the Block

This sequel to New Critters on the Block uses the block tatting technique to make small motifs with a holiday and seasonal theme. They make up quickly and are excellent for clothing appliqués, card enclosures, etc.

I would call this an intermediate level book. There are no split chains, and only one small split ring, but there are a variety of other techniques used, such as folded rings, long beaded picot,and lock stitch chain. There is a chart describing different block tatting methods.

New Critters on the Block

By Martha Ess

This is my book of original patterns that use the block tatting technique to make small whimsical animals. They make up quickly and are excellent for clothing appliqués (especially for children), refrigerator magnets, pins, earrings, you name it.

There are 23 patterns in all: flamingo, cat, rabbit, brontosaurus, lion, hedgehog, bee, octopus, tiger, stegosaurus, swan, penguin, puppy, dragon, fish, squirrel, songbird, teddybear, frog, goose, bird of paradise, mouse, and a hat. In size 10 thread, the frog measures approximately 1 5/8 x 1 ½ inches, and the stegosaurus 1 1/8 x 2 1/4 inches.

Patterns are written only, but include clear pictures of the motifs. (Sorry, I find block tatting diagrams of these pieces just too dense and crowded to be really useful.)

Patterns are advanced beginner/early intermediate level. There are no split rings or split chains.

The book is digest size, 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches, and has 28 pages plus cover.

Autographed on request.

The cost is $10.00 per copy plus shipping
