Just today I was having coffee with my tatting friend, Beth when we bumped into my motorcycling friend, Dee and had coffee and conversation together. Upon hearing about Beth’s & my connection to tatting remembered hearing about a woman traveling with her mother in a sidecar. The mother tatted!!!

This really peaked my interest because: 1. I ride a motorcycle; 2. I used to ride a motorcycle with a sidecar (when my kids were little we took them everywhere with us, around the country, even to Alaska); 3. Tatting; 4. Cross-country touring.

So we looked it up and found the following article: https://ridermagazine.com/2015/08/04/effies-great-adventure-first-women-to-ride-cross-country/

According to the article, the mother in the sidecar, learned to tat in the first quarter of their cross-country trip and was after and avid tatter.

I just love this story!
