My grandmother was an expert at tatting & boy her lace was exquisite. I never learned & I thought it was a lost art so it's good to see that it is still alive & well. She tried to teach my mom but she could never get the hang of it so unfortunately it is lost to our family. I still have some her pillow cases where she had added some tatting lace to the edges. My grandmother used to make that shuttle "sing" & most of the time, without looking.
