My grandmother tatted for as long as I can remember and I am so grateful that my own collection started with dresser runners, doilies and other beautiful textile artwork that she made herself. The handketchiefs? Amazing pocketbook art. Or church lady chic as I call them. What a wonderful story about preserving the past. Maybe someday I will learn how to tat and move from collector to creating such exquisite textile artwork.
